3M 7000132638 Vinyl Color Coding Tape 0.5in X 20ft Brown

Product Description

The 3M 7000132638 is a brown polyvinyl chloride vinyl electrical color coding tape designed for phase identification, motor lead marking, and piping system color coding. Known in the trade as Scotch Vinyl Electrical Tape 35, it delivers reliable electrical insulation alongside strong mechanical properties. The tape measures 0.5 inches wide and runs 20 feet per roll, making it a compact, job-site-ready format. Its abrasion-resistant and weather-resistant construction holds up in demanding environments where standard marking tapes fail. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance techs reach for this tape when they need a clean, consistent color code that stays put.

This tape is well suited for residential and commercial electrical work wherever phase identification is required. Common applications include color coding motor leads on three-phase equipment, marking piping systems for quick service identification, and flagging safety areas in mechanical rooms or industrial facilities. The brown color is a standard phase or circuit identifier in multi-conductor wiring and piping labeling conventions. It applies cleanly over wire bundles, conduit, and pipe surfaces in both indoor and outdoor installations.

Installation Notes

This tape is applied by licensed electricians and qualified maintenance technicians. De-energize all circuits and follow lockout/tagout procedures before applying tape to live conductor areas or motor leads. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for maximum adhesion. Consult applicable NEC requirements for color coding standards in your jurisdiction before selecting tape colors for phase identification.
