3M 7100009255 Temflex 1755 Friction Tape 1.5in X 82.5ft

Product Description

The 3M 7100009255 is the Temflex 1755 cotton friction tape, a self-fusing, pressure-sensitive tape designed for insulating, protecting, and splicing low-voltage electrical conductors and connections. Made from woven cotton with a rubber-based adhesive, it conforms tightly to irregular surfaces and provides a firm, non-slip grip on wire and cable assemblies. Each roll measures 1.5 inches wide and 82.5 feet long, weighing 0.95 pounds. Electricians and wire technicians reach for this tape when wrapping splices, reinforcing insulation, or securing cable bundles where a cloth-texture finish is required.

Temflex 1755 friction tape is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, motor lead insulation, and general wire harnessing applications. It performs in situations where a rubber or vinyl tape alone may not provide adequate mechanical protection or grip. The cotton construction allows the tape to breathe and conform to round or irregular conductor profiles, making it a practical choice for service entrance cables, motor connections, and splice wrap-over applications.

Key Features

• Cotton woven backing provides flexibility and conformability over irregular surfaces
• 1.5-inch width and 82.5-foot length per roll suits standard splicing and wrapping tasks
• Rubber-based adhesive delivers a firm, non-slip grip on wire and cable
• Sold by the roll; case quantity is 30 rolls
• 0.95-pound roll weight — lightweight and easy to handle on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style friction tape replacement for low-voltage electrical insulation and splicing applications where cotton cloth tape is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before applying tape to any conductor or splice. Wrap the tape with overlapping half-laps to ensure full coverage and a secure mechanical bond. Do not use as the sole primary insulation on conductors operating above the tape's rated voltage.
