- Professional Grade Quality - Manufactured to stringent electrical industry standards for consistent performance and safety compliance
Technical Specifications
Dimensions: 3/4 inch width x 0.007 inch thickness x 66 feet length. Voltage Rating: 600V primary insulation. Operating Temperature: Up to 80°C (176°F). Construction: Flame-retardant vinyl with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Color: Orange for easy identification and phase marking. Meets electrical safety standards for primary insulation applications.
Installation & Setup
- Clean and dry the surface to be taped, removing any dirt, oil, or moisture for optimal adhesion and electrical safety
- Begin wrapping with 50% overlap, starting from the lowest voltage point and working toward higher voltage areas
- Apply firm, consistent pressure while wrapping to eliminate air bubbles and ensure complete surface contact
- Stretch the tape slightly during application to activate the adhesive and create a tight, conforming wrap
- Complete the wrap with at least two full turns beyond the area requiring insulation for secure termination
- Press down the final edge firmly to prevent unwinding and ensure long-term adhesion in electrical environments
