HS264YELLOW Partex 2:1 heat shrink tubing, 6.4/3.2mm, yellow, pack 75m

Why Choose the Partex HS264YELLOW 2:1 Yellow Heat Shrink Tubing?

The Partex HS264YELLOW is a practical yellow 2:1 heat shrink tubing product designed for electrical cable sleeving, wire identification and protection of suitably sized electrical connections. Manufactured by Partex, this heat shrink sleeving offers a convenient cable management solution for electricians, control panel builders, industrial automation engineers, maintenance professionals and electrical equipment manufacturers.

Featuring a 2:1 shrink ratio, the HS264YELLOW reduces in diameter when heat is applied, allowing the tubing to conform around compatible electrical wires, cable sections and components. The tubing has a nominal supplied diameter of 6.4 mm and a nominal recovered diameter of 3.2 mm, providing a versatile sleeving option for electrical wiring applications requiring a larger diameter than smaller heat shrink sizes.

The yellow colour provides a highly visible finish for cable identification and wiring organisation, making it useful in installations where individual conductors, cable groups or wiring functions need to be distinguished within an established identification system. Supplied in a 75 m pack, the HS264YELLOW can be cut to the required length for electrical panel assembly, cable harness production, machinery wiring and ongoing maintenance work.

Key Advantages

• 2:1 heat shrink ratio allows the tubing to reduce to approximately half its supplied diameter when correctly recovered.
• 6.4 mm supplied diameter provides a practical sleeving size for appropriately sized electrical wires and connections.
• 3.2 mm nominal recovered diameter allows the tubing to form a close-fitting covering around compatible components.
• Yellow colour supports clear visual identification and colour-coded cable management.
• Heat-activated recovery provides a fitted sleeve without a separate mechanical fastening system.
• Cut-to-length design allows installers to prepare individual sleeves according to application requirements.
• Useful for cable organisation, wire sleeving and protection against incidental contact and light abrasion when correctly specified.
• 75 m pack quantity supports repeated use in electrical manufacturing, installation and maintenance projects.
• Suitable for control panel assembly, cable harness production and industrial wiring applications.
• Provides a neat and consistent finish for appropriately sized electrical cable assemblies.

Flexible Cable Insulation and Identification for Electrical Control Systems

Effective cable insulation and identification help maintain organised electrical installations, improve wiring accessibility and simplify equipment maintenance. The Partex HS264YELLOW provides a heat-shrinkable sleeve that can be cut to length, positioned over a compatible wire or connection and heated to achieve a close fit. This makes it a practical option for electrical wiring in control panels, industrial automation equipment, machinery assemblies and cable harnesses.

The combination of a 6.4 mm supplied diameter, 3.2 mm recovered diameter and 2:1 shrink ratio provides a useful sizing range for applications involving electrical conductors and connections that require a larger initial sleeve opening. The supplied diameter must be large enough to pass over the intended component before heating, while the recovered diameter must be appropriate for achieving the required finished fit. Installers should consider the dimensions of terminals, connectors, cable joints and other components that the tubing may need to pass over during assembly.

In electrical control panels, heat shrink tubing can help provide a tidy finish to cable assemblies and offer a covering for suitable wiring sections. The yellow finish is particularly useful where a documented colour-coding system is used to distinguish selected conductors, cable groups or wiring functions. This can make cable identification more straightforward during installation, inspection, fault-finding and maintenance.

For example, yellow sleeving may be selected for a designated group of control wiring within a documented electrical panel identification scheme. However, the colour alone does not establish the electrical function of a conductor, and yellow tubing should not be treated as a substitute for protective conductor identification or other markings required by applicable wiring standards.

Before installation, users should confirm the required electrical insulation rating, recovery temperature, operating temperature, material compatibility and environmental suitability against the manufacturer's technical documentation. Heat should be applied evenly using a suitable installation tool and method, avoiding overheating or damage to the underlying cable insulation. The finished installation should be inspected to ensure that the tubing has recovered appropriately around the intended component.

Typical Applications
