Intertape 85832 Vinyl Electrical Tape Red 7 Mil 60 Ft

Product Description

The INTERTAPE 85832 is a 7 mil vinyl electrical insulating tape designed for general electrical maintenance and repair work. Constructed from a soft, plasticized, stabilized PVC film coated with a non-corrosive rubber-based adhesive, it delivers reliable insulation and conformability in a wide range of service conditions. Each roll measures 60 feet in length and 19.05 millimeters (0.75 inches) in width, providing substantial coverage per roll. With a dielectric strength of 600 volts per mil, this tape meets the insulating demands of standard low-voltage wiring tasks. It is a practical consumable stocked by electricians, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople.

The 85832 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work as well as general facility maintenance. Typical applications include repairing frayed wiring, splicing electrical conductors, protecting wire-nut connections, resurfacing and insulating hand tool handles, and general-purpose maintenance and repair tasks. The tape performs across a rated temperature range, making it appropriate for both indoor panel work and exposed wiring repairs in conditioned or moderate environments.

Key Features

• 7 mil thickness for durable insulation and tear resistance during wrapping
• Dielectric strength of 600 volts per mil for reliable low-voltage insulation
• Non-corrosive rubber resin adhesive bonds securely without damaging wire insulation or terminal surfaces
• Soft, plasticized PVC film conforms tightly to irregular surfaces and wire bundles
• Red color for phase identification, circuit marking, or visual differentiation in multi-wire installations
• 60-foot roll length reduces roll changes during extended wiring or repair runs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl electrical insulating tape suitable for standard low-voltage wiring, splicing, and insulation applications across residential and light commercial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

This tape is installed by electricians and maintenance technicians working on de-energized circuits in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements. Always verify the circuit is de-energized and properly locked out before applying tape to any conductor, splice, or connection. Stretch the tape slightly during wrapping to ensure a snug, void-free layer, and overlap each pass by at least half the tape width for adequate insulation coverage. Do not use as a substitute for listed wire connectors or terminal insulation where those components are required by code.
