Why Choose the Partex HS2127BLACK 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS2127BLACK is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and protective wire sleeving in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a professional black finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 6.3 mm, making it suitable for appropriately sized electrical cables, wiring connections and cable assemblies.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS2127BLACK provides a practical solution for insulating and protecting electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve that helps provide electrical insulation and a neat, professional finish. Its black colour offers a consistent appearance for cable harnesses, electrical control panels and industrial wiring installations.
Supplied in a convenient 50 m pack, the HS2127BLACK is suitable for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial installers. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the 12.7/6.3 mm diameter specification makes it suitable for cable sleeving applications requiring protective insulation and organised wiring.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides a close fit around compatible electrical cables and connections.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Wire Protection
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, cable connections and wiring assemblies. The Partex HS2127BLACK contracts when suitable heat is applied, allowing it to conform to compatible cable diameters and create a neat protective covering. Its 2:1 shrink ratio enables substantial diameter reduction, with a specified nominal recovered diameter of 6.3 mm.
The black finish makes this tubing particularly useful for installations requiring consistent cable sleeving, organised wiring and a discreet appearance. Its 12.7 mm supplied diameter provides space for installation over appropriately sized cables and components before shrinking. For effective results, select tubing that can pass over the largest part of the assembly and recover sufficiently to fit the underlying cable. Follow the manufacturer's recommended heating procedure and confirm suitability for the electrical and environmental conditions of the application.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and protective sleeving.
- Control panel wiring and cable management.
- Industrial cable harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Protective covering for compatible cable connections.
- Electrical equipment wiring and component sleeving.
- Switchgear and distribution equipment wiring assemblies.
- Electrical installation, maintenance and repair work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex HS2127BLACK used for?
The Partex HS2127BLACK is designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and wire sleeving on compatible electrical cables, conductors and wiring connections.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can reduce to approximately half its original nominal diameter when fully recovered under appropriate heating conditions.
What are the supplied and recovered diameters?
The HS2127BLACK has a nominal supplied diameter of 12.7 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 6.3 mm.
What colour is the HS2127BLACK tubing?
The tubing is supplied in black, making it suitable for electrical wiring applications requiring a discreet, uniform and professional appearance.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied in one pack?
Each pack contains 50 m of Partex black 2:1 heat shrink tubing, suitable for multiple cable insulation and protective sleeving tasks.
Can the HS2127BLACK be used in electrical control panels?
Yes. The HS2127BLACK can be used for compatible cable insulation, protective sleeving and wiring organisation within electrical control panels and industrial equipment, subject to the installation requirements.
Can the HS2127BLACK tubing be cut to different lengths?
Yes. The tubing can be cut to the required length before heating, allowing installers to prepare individual protective sleeves for specific cables, conductors and electrical components.
How do I select the correct heat shrink tubing diameter?
Choose tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the cable or component before heating and a recovered diameter small enough to provide a secure fit. For the HS2127BLACK, the nominal supplied and recovered diameters are 12.7 mm and 6.3 mm, respectively.
