3M 888519387382 Dot Conspicuity Tape Red 2in X 9in

Product Description

The 3M 888519387382 is a DOT conspicuity tape strip made from reflective sheeting material and designed to improve the visibility of commercial vehicles and trailers. Each strip measures 2 inches wide by 9 inches long, providing a short-run segment suited for patching, striping, or filling gaps in existing conspicuity marking layouts. The red reflective surface meets DOT marking requirements and retro-reflects light from headlights and other light sources back toward the observer. Fleet maintenance technicians, body shop crews, and DOT compliance specialists apply this tape as part of required trailer marking systems.

This tape is used in commercial truck and trailer applications where DOT FMCSA conspicuity marking regulations apply. The 9-inch length makes it useful for segment replacement, corner pieces, or supplemental marking on trailers, straight trucks, and other regulated vehicles. It is sold in a package quantity of 5 strips, making it practical for spot repairs or small-scale marking jobs on existing fleets.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying conspicuity tape — clean the mounting surface thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before pressing the tape into place. Apply firm, even pressure across the full length of the strip to ensure full adhesive contact. Installation is typically performed by fleet maintenance technicians or body shop personnel following FMCSA 49 CFR Part 571.108 marking placement guidelines. Do not apply over existing tape, rust, loose paint, or contaminated surfaces.
