3M 165GR4A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What colors does the 3M Temflex 165 vinyl electrical tape come in?
Two colors: green and orange. Green is part number 165GR4A and orange is 165OR4A. Both are the same 3/4-inch x 60-ft roll of 6 mil vinyl, so if you are phase-marking or color-coding circuits you can mix them freely without any change in wrap behavior.
2) Is Temflex 165 a 6 mil tape or the thinner 5 mil general-purpose stuff?
Temflex 165 uses a 6 mil vinyl backing. That extra mil over a typical 5 mil general-purpose vinyl gives you a bit more abrasion and moisture resistance per wrap, which matters when you are half-lapping over a wire nut or a rough splice rather than just bundling.
3) Can I use Temflex 165 for phase identification and circuit color-coding?
Yes, that is one of its stated uses. The green and orange rolls are meant for color-coding wires and circuits alongside insulating splices and general bundling. Green is commonly used for equipment grounding identification and orange for high-leg or isolated-circuit marking, so confirm the color convention your facility or inspector expects before you wrap.
4) Is Temflex 165 the right tape for a high-heat or outdoor exposed splice?
Temflex 165 is a general-use vinyl tape, built for routine insulating, splicing, bundling and color-coding on residential, commercial and industrial jobs. For a direct-buried joint, a high-temperature motor lead, or anything needing a moisture-sealed build-up, a professional-grade vinyl, a rubber splicing tape, or a mastic pad is the better call. For everyday panel and device work, 165 is the intended product.
5) What is the exact 3M part number to order green Temflex 165?
Green is 3M part number 165GR4A and orange is 165OR4A. Both are 3/4-inch x 60-ft rolls in the Temflex 165 series. Distributors ordering by color should specify the suffix, since the series number alone does not identify the color.
6) Will this vinyl tape wrap cleanly around irregular connectors and wire nuts?
It will. The vinyl backing is flexible enough to conform around wires, cables and connectors of varying shapes, which is why it is used for splicing and harnessing as well as straight bundling. Vinyl stretches as you pull it, so wrap under moderate tension and release tension on the last turn so the end does not flag back.
