3M 7000031459 Vinyl Electrical Tape Super 88 1.5in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000031459 is a premium-grade, 8.5-mil thick vinyl electrical insulating tape designed for professional electrical work. Known as Scotch Super 88, this all-weather PVC-backed tape delivers primary electrical insulation for splices rated up to 600 volts and provides protective jacketing on conductors and connections. Its thicker construction allows faster insulation build-up compared to standard electrical tapes. The tape performs reliably across a wide temperature range, from 0 degrees F (-18 degrees C) in cold environments up to 220 degrees F (105 degrees C) in high-heat applications. Each roll measures 1.5 inches wide by 36 yards long.

This tape is suited for use in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors use it for insulating wire splices, bundling conductors, and applying protective jacketing to cables exposed to harsh conditions. Its resistance to UV rays, moisture, abrasion, copper corrosion, alkalies, and acids makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor applications where long-term durability is required. The flexible PVC backing conforms well to irregular surfaces and irregular splice geometries encountered in field conditions.

Compatibility

Designed for use as primary insulating tape for electrical splices and protective jacketing on conductors rated up to 600 volts in professional electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before applying tape to any splice or connection. Stretch the tape slightly during application to ensure a tight, void-free wrap, and overlap each pass by at least half the tape width. Do not use as a substitute for listed wire connectors or terminal insulation where code requires a listed device.
