Why Choose the Partex HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) 2:1 Green/Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) is a professional green/yellow heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, protective conductor identification and cable protection in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the tubing reduces from a nominal internal diameter of 3.2 mm to 1.6 mm when fully recovered, providing a close-fitting sleeve around appropriately sized conductors and electrical connections.
Manufactured by Partex, a recognised specialist in cable identification and electrical installation products, this heat shrink tubing features the distinctive green/yellow colour combination commonly used to identify protective earth (PE) conductors. Its colour coding helps electricians, control panel builders and maintenance engineers distinguish protective earthing connections from other wiring within electrical equipment and distribution systems.
Supplied in a convenient 150 m pack, the HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) is suitable for professional electrical installations, control panel manufacturing and industrial maintenance applications requiring consistent protective earth identification. Its compact 3.2 mm supplied diameter makes it particularly useful for smaller conductors, cable terminations and protective earth connections.

Reliable Protective Earth Identification and Cable Protection
Protective earth conductor identification is an important part of electrical installation safety and maintenance. The Partex HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) uses the recognised green/yellow identification colour combination to help distinguish protective earthing conductors from live and neutral conductors in electrical systems.
The tubing's 2:1 shrink ratio allows it to contract around appropriately sized wires and connections when suitable heat is applied. This creates a neat, close-fitting sleeve that helps protect the underlying conductor insulation against minor abrasion while providing a clearly visible identification finish.
Green/yellow sleeving is particularly useful when identifying protective earth conductors at terminals, connection points and within electrical enclosures. The tubing provides a permanent-style colour identification sleeve when correctly selected and installed, although the complete electrical installation must still meet applicable wiring regulations and protective earthing requirements.
For effective installation, select tubing with a supplied internal diameter large enough to pass over the intended conductor or termination and a recovered diameter suitable for the required fit. Cut the tubing to length and apply controlled, even heat using an appropriate heat gun, following the manufacturer's installation recommendations.
Typical Applications
- Protective earth (PE) conductor identification.
- Electrical control panel wiring and assembly.
- Earthing and bonding conductor identification.
- Electrical distribution boards and equipment enclosures.
- Industrial automation and machine control systems.
- Electrical cable termination identification.
- Manufacturing and assembly of electrical equipment.
- Maintenance, repair and refurbishment of electrical installations.
- Protective sleeving for appropriately sized earth conductors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) used for?
The Partex HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) is used primarily for protective earth conductor identification, electrical cable sleeving and insulation protection. Its green/yellow colour combination helps identify earthing conductors within electrical installations and control panels.
What is the shrink ratio of the Partex HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL)?
The tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning its nominal internal diameter reduces from 3.2 mm to 1.6 mm when fully recovered under suitable heating conditions.
How much heat shrink tubing is supplied?
The HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) is supplied in a 150 m pack, providing a bulk quantity for electrical contractors, panel builders and industrial maintenance applications.
Why is green/yellow heat shrink tubing used for earthing?
The green/yellow colour combination is the recognised identification colour for protective earth conductors in UK and European electrical installations. Using green/yellow heat shrink tubing helps make protective earthing connections clearly identifiable during installation, inspection and maintenance.
How is Partex HS232EARTH(GRN/YEL) heat shrink tubing installed?
Cut the tubing to the required length, position it over a suitably sized conductor or connection and apply controlled, even heat using an appropriate heat gun. The tubing contracts around the conductor to provide a close-fitting green/yellow identification sleeve.
