3M 7100179779 Safety-walk Step Ladder Tread 1x180 in

Product Description

The 3M 7100179779 is an anti-slip adhesive tread strip designed for steps, ladder rungs, and other surfaces where slip resistance is required. Sold as a roll measuring 1 inch wide by 180 inches long, it provides continuous coverage that can be cut to length on the job. The pressure-sensitive backing bonds to metal, wood, fiberglass, and most painted surfaces without additional fasteners. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades use this product on portable and fixed ladders, work platforms, and access steps to meet jobsite safety requirements.

This tread is suited for both residential and light commercial applications. Common install scenarios include stepladder rungs, pull-down attic stair treads, rooftop equipment access steps, and platform edges in mechanical rooms. The 180-inch roll length allows a single roll to cover multiple rungs or short stair sections. The 1-inch width targets narrow ladder rungs and similar profiles where a wider tread strip would overhang.

Key Features

• 1 inch wide by 180 inch long roll — cut to any required length on site
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for tool-free installation on most surfaces
• Textured anti-slip surface reduces slip risk on ladder rungs and steps
• Suitable for metal, wood, fiberglass, and painted surfaces
• Lightweight at 0.3 pounds per roll — minimal added weight to ladders or platforms

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose anti-slip tread strip compatible with standard step and ladder rung profiles in residential and commercial trade applications.

Installation Notes

Clean and dry the target surface thoroughly before applying the adhesive backing — grease, oil, or moisture will reduce bond strength. Cut strips to the required length using a utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. Press firmly along the full length of the strip to ensure full adhesive contact. No special tools or trade license is required for installation, though ladder safety compliance should be verified against applicable OSHA or local safety codes.
