Why Choose the Partex HS2381CLEAR 2:1 Clear Heat Shrink Tubing?
The Partex HS2381CLEAR is a versatile clear heat shrink tubing designed for electrical insulation, cable protection and the finishing of wires, cable joints and electrical connections. Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, this tubing contracts when heated to provide a close-fitting protective sleeve around compatible cables, conductors and electrical components.
Designed for professional cable management and electrical installation applications, Partex heat shrink tubing is suitable for industrial control panels, electrical assemblies, machinery wiring and maintenance work. Its transparent finish allows underlying cable identification, printed markings and labels to remain visible, making it particularly useful where electrical conductors and wiring assemblies require both protection and clear identification.
With a nominal supplied diameter of 38.1 mm, a recovered diameter of approximately 19 mm and a 30 m pack length, the HS2381CLEAR provides a practical solution for larger cable assemblies, electrical terminations, wire harnesses and industrial wiring applications requiring a transparent protective covering.
Key Advantages
- 2:1 heat shrink ratio provides a close-fitting protective covering when correctly heated.
- 38.1 mm supplied diameter suitable for larger cables, wiring assemblies and compatible electrical connections.
- Approximately 19 mm recovered diameter enables a secure fit around appropriately sized components.
- Clear transparent finish allows underlying cable identification labels and printed markings to remain visible.
- 30 m pack length suitable for repeated installation, workshop and production applications.
- Helps provide electrical insulation and protection against everyday handling and abrasion.
- Heat-activated installation provides a neat, professional finish without additional fastening components.
Key Features
- Partex HS2381CLEAR heat shrink tubing.
- 2:1 nominal shrink ratio.
- 38.1 mm nominal diameter before shrinking.
- 19 mm nominal diameter after shrinking.
- Clear transparent colour for visibility of underlying cable identification.
- 30 m supplied length.
- Heat-activated shrinkage for close-fitting cable protection.
- Suitable for electrical insulation, cable identification protection and wire harness applications.
- Practical for industrial control panels, machinery wiring and electrical maintenance.
Reliable Cable Protection and Identification for Industrial Electrical Systems
Heat shrink tubing provides a convenient method of insulating and protecting electrical cables by contracting around conductors and components when heat is applied. The Partex HS2381CLEAR features a nominal 2:1 shrink ratio, allowing the tubing to reduce from approximately 38.1 mm to 19 mm in diameter when fully recovered. This makes it suitable for covering appropriately sized cable joints, wiring assemblies and electrical terminations.
The transparent construction is particularly useful in industrial automation systems, electrical control panels and machinery wiring where cable identification must remain visible. The tubing can help protect printed identification sleeves, cable labels and connection areas while supporting organised cable management. For best results, the tubing should be selected according to the dimensions of the cable or component and installed using a suitable controlled heat source.
Typical Applications
- Electrical cable insulation and connection protection.
- Industrial control panel wiring and cable management.
- Protection of cable identification labels and printed markings.
- Larger cable joints and electrical termination coverings.
- Wire harness assembly and cable bundling.
- Industrial machinery and automation wiring.
- Electrical distribution and switchgear assemblies.
- Electrical maintenance, repair and installation work.
