Applications
■ Primary electrical insulation for most wire and cable splices rated up to 600 volts
■ Protective jacketing for high voltage cable splices and repairs
■ Harnessing of wires and cables
■ For indoor or outdoor applications
■ For above or below ground application Installation Techniques Apply the tape in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform covering. In most applications, this tension will reduce the tape’s width to approximately 5/8 of its original width. On pigtail splices, the tape should be wrapped beyond the end of the wires and then folded back, leaving a protective cushion to resist cut-through. Always wrap the tape “uphill” to create a shingle effect. Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging.
