3M 7000006116 Electrical Tape 1 in 1 Mil 72 Yd Transparent

Product Description

The 3M 7000006116 is a transparent electrical tape in the 3M Series 40 product line, designed for electrical insulation, bundling, and light-duty splicing applications. It measures 1 inch wide and 1 mil thick, with each roll spanning 72 yards. The tape uses an acrylic adhesive system that maintains bond integrity at temperatures up to 266 degrees F (130 degrees C), making it suitable for environments where elevated heat is a factor. Electricians and electrical maintenance technicians reach for this tape when a clean, transparent wrap is required to protect connections or identify underlying wire insulation color through the tape layer.

This tape is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work. Its transparency makes it a practical choice when visual inspection of the underlying conductor or insulation is needed after wrapping. Common applications include insulating low-voltage wire splices, securing wire bundles, and protecting terminal connections. The 72-yard roll length reduces mid-job roll changes on larger wiring runs.

Key Features

• Transparent finish allows visual inspection of wrapped conductors
• Acrylic adhesive provides reliable tack and temperature resistance up to 266 degrees F
• 1 mil thickness delivers a low-profile wrap for tight routing and conduit work
• 72-yard roll length minimizes interruptions on large wiring jobs
• Series 40 designation for consistent performance identification across 3M tape product lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulating and bundling tape for general electrical applications involving low-voltage conductors and light-duty wire management tasks.

Installation Notes

This tape is intended for installation by qualified electricians following applicable NEC guidelines for insulation and splicing. De-energize all circuits before applying tape to conductors or terminals. Apply with consistent tension to avoid air pockets or wrinkles that could compromise insulation integrity. Do not use as a primary insulation replacement on damaged conductors requiring code-compliant repair methods.
