Ideal Industries 46-88-1.5X66 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Ideal 46-88 electrical tape thicker than standard 7 mil tape?
Yes. The Ideal Industries 46-88 Premium Heavy-Duty vinyl tape runs 8.5 mil, where general-purpose electrical tapes are typically 7 mil. That extra thickness is there for cut-through and abrasion resistance on splices that get pulled into conduit or flexed in a panel, so you can build up an insulation layer with fewer wraps.
2) What size roll is the Ideal 46-88-1.5X66 tape, and how much does one roll cover?
One roll is 1-1/5 inch wide by 66 feet long. The 66 foot length is double the common 33 foot roll, so for panel work or long cable bundles you change rolls half as often. Note the width: at roughly 1.2 inches it is wider than the usual 3/4 inch tape, which covers larger connectors and cable bundles in a single pass but will overlap more if you are color-coding narrow conductors.
3) Is vinyl tape the right choice for outdoor or damp electrical splices?
The 46-88 is a vinyl-backed tape formulated to resist moisture and abrasion, which makes it suitable as the outer wrap on splices in damp or exposed locations. For a direct-buried or submerged splice, vinyl tape alone is not a seal: electricians build those with rubber splicing (mastic) tape underneath for the waterproof body and finish with a vinyl tape like this one for mechanical and abrasion protection.
4) Will this black Ideal tape work for phase color-coding?
Black is the neutral or common identification color in standard electrical color-coding practice, so the 46-88 covers that role plus general insulating and bundling. For phase marking you need the colored vinyl tapes (red, blue, yellow, orange, brown, gray) in addition to this black roll.
5) Can I use this tape to insulate wire nuts and conform around irregular connectors?
Yes, that is a normal use for it. The vinyl formulation on the 46-88 is flexible enough to stretch and conform around wire nuts, lugs, and other irregular shapes while holding a secure wrap, which is why it is specified for splicing, terminations, and bundling in commercial, industrial, and residential work.
