What is green/yellow heat shrink tubing used for?
It’s used to insulate and identify earth or ground conductors in electrical systems, ensuring compliance with wiring regulations and improving safety.
Is this tubing suitable for permanent installations?
Yes – it’s made from flame-retardant, RoHS-compliant polyolefin and provides reliable, long-term insulation and identification in fixed installations.
Can it be used for industrial or plant wiring?
Absolutely. It’s ideal for control panels, plant maintenance, and machinery wiring where earth identification is required.
What temperature should be used to shrink it?
Use a heat gun at around 80 °C to achieve smooth, even recovery for a tight, professional finish.
Why is it supplied on mini reels?
Mini reels keep tubing clean, organised, and easy to handle – perfect for electricians on-site or in workshops.
