3M 7000001162 Vinyl Foam Tape Black 2in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000001162 is a black vinyl foam tape designed for bonding and sealing across a wide range of surfaces. Built on a conformable, closed-cell foam construction with a single-coated acrylic adhesive, this tape measures 2 inches wide, runs 36 yards per roll, and carries a thickness of 0.0625 inches. The closed-cell foam resists moisture and compression, making it well-suited for applications where a reliable environmental seal is needed. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors regularly reach for this tape when securing insulation, sealing gaps, or cushioning components during installation.

This tape is used in both residential and light commercial settings where a flexible, conformable seal is required. Common applications include sealing irregular or contoured surfaces, vibration dampening, and gap filling around mechanical components. The vinyl foam construction allows the tape to compress and conform without losing its sealing integrity, making it a practical choice for HVAC ductwork trim, panel sealing, and electrical enclosure gasket work.

Key Features

• Closed-cell vinyl foam construction resists moisture penetration and compression set
• Single-coated adhesive bonds to a variety of surfaces including metal, plastic, and painted substrates
• Conformable design follows contoured and irregular surfaces without bridging
• 2-inch width and 36-yard roll length suit both small spot repairs and longer continuous runs
• 0.0625-inch thickness provides cushioning and sealing in tight clearance applications
• Black finish blends with common mechanical and enclosure surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl foam tape suitable for use across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction applications where a conformable, single-coated foam seal or bond is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for adhesive performance — clean and dry the substrate thoroughly before application, removing any oils, dust, or loose material. Apply firm pressure across the full length of the tape to ensure full adhesive contact. In HVAC and electrical applications, ensure all power is off and any refrigerant or gas lines are isolated before taping near energized components or active lines. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or IFGC for any tape used in proximity to electrical or gas systems.
