HS2254YELLOW Partex 2:1 heat shrink tubing, 25.4/12.7mm, yellow, pack 30m

Why Choose the Partex HS2254YELLOW 2:1 Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?

The Partex HS2254YELLOW is a versatile 2:1 yellow heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable identification and mechanical protection of wires, cable bundles and electrical connections. Featuring a nominal supplied diameter of 25.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 12.7 mm, this heat shrink sleeving provides a practical solution for protecting larger conductors and cable assemblies in industrial electrical installations.

Part of the Partex heat shrink tubing range, HS2254YELLOW uses heat-activated contraction to form a close-fitting sleeve around appropriately sized cables and components. The tubing helps protect covered wiring against abrasion and routine handling damage while providing a neat, professional finish. Its distinctive yellow colour supports visual cable identification, colour-coded wiring organisation and improved recognition of selected cable assemblies.

With a 2:1 nominal shrink ratio, the tubing can contract from its supplied diameter of 25.4 mm towards a recovered diameter of 12.7 mm when heated correctly. Supplied in a convenient 30 m pack, Partex HS2254YELLOW is suitable for control panel manufacturers, electrical contractors, industrial maintenance engineers and OEM equipment builders requiring cut-to-length protective sleeving.

Key Advantages

• 2:1 shrink ratio: Provides dimensional recovery for a close fit around appropriately sized cables and components.
• 25.4 mm supplied diameter: Accommodates larger conductors, cable bundles and electrical connections before shrinking.
• 12.7 mm recovered diameter: Allows the tubing to contract around suitable cable assemblies for a neat protective finish.
• Yellow colour: Provides clear visual differentiation for cable identification and organised wiring systems.
• Electrical insulation: Provides additional insulating sleeving when correctly selected for the application's electrical requirements.
• Mechanical protection: Helps reduce exposure to abrasion, rubbing and routine handling damage.
• Professional appearance: Creates a tidy finish around cable transitions, conductor bundles and suitable electrical terminations.
• Cut-to-length convenience: Allows installers to prepare individual sleeves for different cable assemblies.
• 30 m pack: Provides a practical quantity for installation, production and maintenance work.
• Versatile applications: Suitable for electrical panels, machinery wiring, cable harnesses and industrial equipment assemblies.

Reliable Insulation and Protection for Larger Cable Assemblies

The Partex HS2254YELLOW provides a convenient solution for protecting cables and electrical connections that require a larger sleeve opening. Its nominal 25.4 mm supplied diameter allows the tubing to be positioned over appropriately sized cable bundles, wiring transitions and components before heat is applied. Once heated correctly, the tubing contracts around the assembly to create a close-fitting protective covering.

The 2:1 shrink ratio offers flexibility when selecting tubing for cable assemblies with variations in diameter. The nominal recovered diameter of 12.7 mm allows the tubing to reduce to approximately half its original diameter, helping installers achieve a tidy and consistent finish. Correct sizing is essential: the tubing must fit over the largest part of the assembly before shrinking and recover sufficiently to grip the intended surface.

Its yellow finish makes HS2254YELLOW useful for colour-coded cable management, visual identification and distinguishing selected wiring groups. Yellow sleeving may be incorporated into equipment-specific identification schemes where permitted by the applicable standards. However, plain yellow tubing should not be used as a substitute for the green/yellow identification required for protective earth conductors in UK and European electrical installations.

The 30 m pack is convenient for panel-building workshops, electrical assembly operations and maintenance departments that regularly prepare cable sleeving. Installers can cut the required length, position it over the conductor or cable assembly and apply controlled heat using an appropriate heat gun. For applications requiring moisture sealing, a specifically rated adhesive-lined or sealing product should be selected rather than assuming standard heat shrink tubing provides a watertight seal.
