Why Choose the Partex ECHS295GREY 2:1 Grey Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex ECHS295GREY is a professional grey 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical wire insulation, cable protection, conductor sleeving and cable identification applications. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 9.5 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 4.7 mm, this heat shrink sleeving provides a neat, close-fitting covering around suitably sized electrical cables, wiring assemblies and components.
The 2:1 shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly. This enables the sleeve to conform around compatible conductors, cable joints and wiring assemblies, providing an additional insulating layer while helping protect covered surfaces against abrasion and general handling wear.
Supplied in a practical 75 m pack, the ECHS295GREY is suitable for electrical contractors, control panel builders, equipment manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring consistent heat shrink sleeving for repeated installation tasks. Its neutral grey finish provides a tidy, professional appearance and supports organised wiring systems in electrical, electronic and industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to recover to approximately half its original supplied diameter.

Reliable 2:1 Heat Shrink Protection for Electrical Cables and Connections
The Partex ECHS295GREY is designed to create a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible electrical cables and components. The tubing is positioned over the required section before controlled heat is applied evenly using suitable hot-air equipment. As it warms, the material contracts around the underlying cable or component, helping produce a tidy insulating covering and a professional finish. Its neutral grey appearance makes it suitable for cable assemblies where consistent presentation and organised wiring are important.
With a nominal diameter of 9.5 mm before shrinking and 4.7 mm after full recovery, this tubing is suitable for applications requiring a larger sleeve than smaller-diameter heat shrink products. It should be selected so that it passes over the component before heating and contracts sufficiently to grip it afterwards. The 75 m supply length allows installers to cut sleeves to the required dimensions, supporting efficient electrical assembly, maintenance and cable protection work. The tubing should not be assumed to provide a waterproof seal unless the completed assembly has been separately designed and verified for that purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex ECHS295GREY used for?
The Partex ECHS295GREY is grey heat shrink tubing used for electrical wire insulation, cable identification, abrasion protection and covering compatible cable joints, conductor connections and wiring assemblies.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can recover to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated correctly. For this product, the nominal diameter changes from 9.5 mm to 4.7 mm upon full recovery.
What size is the Partex ECHS295GREY tubing?
The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 9.5 mm and a nominal fully recovered diameter of 4.7 mm. It should be used with cables and components that fit inside the tubing before shrinking and can be gripped securely after recovery.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied?
The Partex ECHS295GREY is supplied in a 75 m pack, providing tubing that can be cut into individual sleeves for electrical installation, cable assembly, manufacturing and maintenance work.
How is the ECHS295GREY heat shrink tubing installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the cable or component, and apply controlled heat evenly using suitable hot-air equipment until the tubing contracts around the surface. Avoid overheating and follow appropriate electrical safety procedures.
Can grey heat shrink tubing be used for cable identification?
Yes. The grey finish can be used as part of an organised cable identification system. However, conductor identification must comply with applicable wiring standards, and grey sleeving should not be assumed to indicate a particular conductor function without reference to the installation's identification scheme.
