General-purpose vinyl electrical tape

This pack contains ten rolls of 3M Temflex 165 black vinyl tape. Each roll measures three-quarter inch wide by twenty yards long and is rated for six hundred volts. The rubber-based adhesive bonds to wire insulation and jacketing in residential, commercial and industrial wiring jobs.

Sustained load performance

The tape withstands continuous temperatures from thirty-two to one hundred ninety-four degrees Fahrenheit and a minimum performance temperature of fourteen degrees Fahrenheit. It resists abrasion, moisture, alkalis, solvents and acids while remaining flame-retardant and inhibiting conductor corrosion during long-term service.

Installation notes

The PVC backing stretches and conforms to irregular shapes without splitting, and the adhesive is compatible with rubber and synthetic splicing compounds. UL Listed, CSA and VDE certified. Cold hands below the minimum temperature can reduce initial tack, so warm the roll before applying in freezing conditions.

Questions about this item

Does the PVC backing and rubber adhesive hold up when the tape runs continuously at the 194 °F upper limit?

The tape is rated for continuous operation from 32 °F to 194 °F, so the PVC and rubber adhesive maintain adhesion and insulation at the top of that range.

What voltage-rated conductors can I insulate with this 600 V tape without needing additional sleeving?

It carries a 600 V rating and is UL Listed, CSA and VDE certified, so it can directly insulate conductors rated up to 600 V.

Will the 6 mil thickness and flame-retardant PVC remain flexible when applied to older rubber-insulated cables in a 14 °F garage?

The minimum performance temperature is 14 °F and the tape is compatible with rubber splicing compounds, so it stays pliable and adheres to legacy rubber cables in cold conditions.
