Why Choose the Partex HS2254RED 2:1 Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS2254RED is a versatile 2:1 heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and conductor identification in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a distinctive red finish, this tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 25.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 12.7 mm, making it suitable for appropriately sized electrical cables, wiring assemblies and cable connections.
As part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, the HS2254RED provides a practical solution for protecting and organising electrical wiring. When suitable heat is applied, the tubing contracts around the underlying cable or component, forming a close-fitting protective sleeve that supports electrical insulation and provides a neat, professional finish. Its red colour also enables visual identification within appropriately designed cable colour-coding systems.
Supplied in a convenient 30 m pack, the HS2254RED is suitable for electrical panel builders, cable harness manufacturers, maintenance engineers and industrial installers. Its 2:1 shrink ratio provides installation flexibility, while the 25.4/12.7 mm diameter specification makes it suitable for larger cable sleeving applications requiring protective insulation and clearly identifiable wiring.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides a close fit around compatible electrical cables and connections.

Reliable Cable Insulation and Wire Identification
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical conductors, cable connections and wiring assemblies. The Partex HS2254RED 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 12.7 mm.
The red finish makes this tubing particularly useful for electrical installations where visual identification, cable organisation and consistent colour coding are important. It can be incorporated into a suitable conductor identification system, provided the chosen colour complies with the relevant electrical installation requirements. For effective results, select tubing with a supplied diameter large enough to pass over the cable or component and a recovered diameter suitable for a close fit. 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 conductor identification.
- Industrial cable harness manufacturing and assembly.
- Protection of compatible electrical cable connections.
- Colour-coded cable identification and wiring organisation.
- 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 HS2254RED used for?
The Partex HS2254RED is designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and conductor identification on compatible electrical cables, wiring assemblies and cable 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 HS2254RED has a nominal supplied diameter of 25.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 12.7 mm.
What colour is the HS2254RED tubing?
The tubing is supplied in red, making it suitable for visual cable identification and appropriately designed colour-coded electrical wiring applications.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied in one pack?
Each pack contains 30 m of Partex red 2:1 heat shrink tubing, suitable for multiple cable insulation and protective sleeving tasks.
Can the HS2254RED be used in electrical control panels?
Yes. The HS2254RED can be used for compatible cable insulation, protective sleeving and conductor identification within electrical control panels and industrial equipment, subject to applicable installation requirements.
Can the HS2254RED 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, conductor assemblies 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 HS2254RED, the nominal supplied and recovered diameters are 25.4 mm and 12.7 mm, respectively.
