3M 7000122473 Vinyl Tape 471 Transparent 3in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000122473 is a transparent vinyl tape in the 471 series, designed for masking, marking, and surface protection across a wide range of industrial and trade applications. The tape features a 5.2 mil vinyl backing combined with a rubber adhesive that bonds to curved and irregular surfaces without lifting. Dead-stretch construction helps technicians pull straight, consistent lines during lane striping and safety marking layouts. The backing resists heavy abrasion and maintains its appearance under tough shop and field conditions. Each roll measures 3 inches wide by 36 yards long and weighs 1.08 pounds.

This tape is well suited for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and pool service environments where clean removal and solvent resistance are required. Common applications include color coding of conduit, pipe, and equipment; masking irregular surfaces before coating or painting; abrasion protection on edges and corners; and splicing or sealing tasks where a conformable, flexible tape is needed. The transparent finish allows surface markings or labels to remain visible through the tape layer.

Key Features

• 5.2 mil vinyl backing provides durable abrasion resistance without adding bulk
• Rubber adhesive conforms to curved and irregular surfaces
• Dead-stretch properties support straighter lines in lane and safety marking work
• Transparent finish keeps underlying markings or labels visible
• Good solvent resistance for use in shop and mechanical room environments
• Removes cleanly without leaving adhesive residue on most surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl marking and masking tape suitable for use on metal, plastic, painted, and most smooth or lightly textured surfaces common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade work.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of oil, dust, and loose material for best adhesion. No tools are required for application, though a roller or squeegee helps seat the tape on irregular surfaces. For lane and safety marking layouts, allow the tape to relax without tension before pressing down to take full advantage of the dead-stretch properties. Remove at a low angle and at a slow, steady pace to maintain clean removal.
