3M 2242 Electrical Tape Pack

This pack contains twelve rolls of 3M Series 2242 electrical tape. Each roll measures one and a half inches wide by fifteen feet long. The tape uses ethylene propylene rubber construction for general-purpose insulating tasks. It suits electricians and maintenance teams needing a bulk supply of reliable black tape.

Self-Fusing Rubber Build

The tape is self-fusing, so layers bond together without adhesive to form a solid, moisture-resistant insulation. At thirty mils thick, it conforms well to irregular shapes and wire splices. The rubber material stays flexible in cold conditions and resists ozone and UV exposure. Continuous rolls let you cut exact lengths for each job without waste.

600 Volt 194 Degree Limit

Rated for six hundred volts, the tape handles common low-voltage and building-wire circuits. Its maximum continuous performance temperature is one hundred ninety-four degrees Fahrenheit. It is not designed for high-temperature environments beyond that limit or for voltages above the rated value. Users needing higher thermal or voltage ratings should select a different specification.

Questions about this item

What voltage does the 3M 2242 tape insulate up to?

The 3M 2242 electrical tape carries a 600 V voltage rating, suitable for general-purpose insulation on circuits up to that level.

What roll width and length come in each pack?

Each roll measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 15 feet long, and the package contains 12 rolls.

How do I apply the self-fusing tape so it bonds correctly?

Stretch the tape as you wrap it so the layers fuse into a solid, void-free insulation; skipping the stretch is the common mistake that prevents bonding.
