3M 7100169254 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 3M Temflex 165 electrical tape rated for 600V circuit work?
Yes. Temflex 165 carries a 600V rating, which covers primary electrical insulation on splices and terminations in standard building and branch circuit work. The PVC backing runs 6 mil (0.15 mm) thick with a dielectric strength of 40.0 kV/mm.
2) How hot can this vinyl electrical tape get before it fails?
The Temflex 165 operating range is 32 to 194 degrees F (0 to 90 degrees C). That covers motor leads, conduit runs and panel work in conditioned and most outdoor above-freezing environments. If you are wrapping below freezing, the tape is outside its stated range and will not conform or bond reliably.
3) Can I use this tape over rubber splicing tape on a splice build-up?
Yes. Temflex 165 is compatible with rubber and synthetic splicing compounds, so it works as the protective jacket over a rubber or mastic splice build. It uses a rubber adhesive on a PVC carrier, and it is flame retardant and inhibits corrosion of the conductors underneath.
4) Is this electrical tape UL Listed for commercial and institutional jobs?
Yes, it is UL Listed and also CSA and VDE Certified, which is what most commercial and institutional spec sheets call for on 600V insulating tape.
5) What colors does Temflex 165 come in for phase and circuit marking?
Ten colors: black, white, gray, brown, red, blue, green, yellow, orange and purple. That is enough to phase-tag three-phase feeders and still color-code low voltage, controls and travelers on the same job. Every color is the same 3/4 in x 60 ft roll.
6) Will 3M Temflex 165 hold up in a damp or corrosive environment like a mechanical room or car wash?
It resists abrasion, moisture, alkalis, solvents and acids, and it inhibits corrosion of electrical conductors, so it holds up in wet mechanical spaces and chemical exposure. Keep it above freezing, since the rated low end is 32 degrees F.
7) Is Temflex 165 a general purpose tape or a premium all-weather tape?
Temflex 165 is classed as general use. It is the workhorse roll for everyday insulating, jacketing and color coding at 600V and up to 194 degrees F. If you need a roll that applies in sub-freezing weather or a heavier 7 mil premium grade for harsh outdoor splices, step up to 3M Super 33+ or Super 88 instead.
8) Does this tape stretch enough to conform around irregular connectors and lugs?
Elongation at break is 200 percent, so the 6 mil PVC backing stretches to about three times its length before it tears. That is enough give to half-lap tightly around lugs, split bolts and irregular connector bodies without the roll snapping mid-wrap.
