Why Choose the Partex HS216BLUE 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS216BLUE is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, wire protection, cable identification and professional cable management. Manufactured by Partex, this blue heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for protecting and organising small-diameter wires and conductors in electrical installations, industrial automation systems and control panels.
Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing contracts to approximately half its original internal diameter when heated appropriately. This allows it to form a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible wires, cable insulation and small electrical components. Its flexible construction makes it suitable for a wide range of wiring, assembly and maintenance applications.
With a supplied internal diameter of 1.6 mm and a recovered diameter of approximately 0.8 mm, the HS216BLUE is particularly suitable for small-gauge wiring and compact electrical assemblies. Supplied in a 150 m pack, the blue tubing provides a convenient bulk solution for electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial maintenance teams.

Reliable Electrical Insulation and Cable Protection
Heat shrink tubing such as the Partex HS216BLUE provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the wire or component, creating a close-fitting sleeve that helps protect against abrasion, handling damage and accidental contact with insulated areas.
The 2:1 shrink ratio offers flexibility when selecting tubing for compatible conductor sizes, while the blue colour helps distinguish individual wires or cable groups in electrical control systems. The generous 150 m supply makes this product particularly useful for repeated wiring operations, control panel assembly and maintenance activities.
Typical Applications
- Electrical wire insulation and protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and assembly.
- PLC and automation equipment wiring.
- Cable identification and colour-coded wiring systems.
- Protection of small-diameter conductors and wire terminations.
- Electronics assembly and equipment maintenance.
- OEM machinery wiring and electrical manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex HS216BLUE heat shrink tubing used for?
The tubing is used for electrical insulation, wire protection and cable identification in electrical installations, industrial automation systems and electronic equipment.
What does the 2:1 shrink ratio mean?
A 2:1 shrink ratio means the tubing can shrink to approximately half its original internal diameter when sufficient heat is applied. The HS216BLUE has a nominal supplied diameter of 1.6 mm and a recovered diameter of 0.8 mm.
What size is the Partex HS216BLUE tubing?
The tubing has a 1.6 mm supplied internal diameter and a 0.8 mm nominal recovered internal diameter, making it suitable for compatible small-diameter wiring applications.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied?
The Partex HS216BLUE is supplied in a 150 m pack, providing a bulk quantity for electrical installation, panel building and maintenance work.
How is the Partex HS216BLUE heat shrink tubing installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, slide it over the wire or component and apply controlled heat using a suitable heat gun. The tubing contracts around the application to provide a close-fitting protective sleeve. Select a size that can pass over the component before shrinking and recover sufficiently for a secure fit.
