3M 7100137856 Diamond Grade Conspicuity Marking Tape Red

Product Description

The 3M 7100137856 is a high-visibility conspicuity marking tape built on microprismatic retroreflective sheeting with a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. Sold as a 2-inch-wide by 150-foot roll in red, it is designed for application to the sides and rears of trucks, trailers, and other large commercial vehicles where federal conspicuity requirements apply. The microprismatic construction delivers strong retroreflectivity across a wide range of lighting and weather conditions. Each roll ships pre-cut into strips — 100 strips per package — reducing layout time and waste during installation. Fleet operators, body shops, and DOT compliance technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This tape is used on Class 7 and Class 8 trucks, semi-trailers, flatbeds, tankers, and other large vehicles that require retroreflective conspicuity marking under FMCSA regulations. It is well-suited for both new-vehicle outfitting and replacement of worn or non-compliant existing tape. The red coloring is used in combination with white sections to form the alternating pattern required by federal standards. Applications include fleet maintenance facilities, truck body manufacturers, and roadside service operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fleet maintenance technicians, body shop professionals, or DOT compliance specialists. The mounting surface should be clean, dry, and free of wax, oil, and loose paint before tape is applied. Firm hand pressure or a roller should be used along the full length of each strip to ensure full adhesive contact. Consult FMCSA conspicuity requirements and applicable federal regulations for correct placement, color sequencing, and coverage zones before installation.
