Panduit MEHT187 Metal Tape Embossing Tool

Product Description

The PANDUIT MEHT187 is a metal tape embossing tool designed for creating raised-letter labels on metal embossing tape. It is used to produce durable, permanent identification labels for panels, equipment, and wiring systems. Technicians in electrical, industrial, and data center environments rely on this type of tool to mark circuit breakers, terminal blocks, junction boxes, and other components that require long-lasting identification. The embossed metal tape output resists heat, moisture, and chemicals better than standard adhesive labels, making it well suited for harsh service environments.

The MEHT187 is appropriate for use in commercial and industrial installations where metal tape labeling is required. Electricians, panel builders, and low-voltage technicians typically use this tool during new construction, panel retrofits, or equipment labeling projects. It produces embossed labels on compatible metal tape cartridges and is suited for bench use or field work where a compact, hand-operated labeling solution is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation of embossed metal labels does not require power tools or special codes, but always de-energize electrical panels and equipment before applying labels near live components. Use in accordance with NEC labeling and marking requirements where applicable. Ensure the tape surface is clean and dry before affixing embossed labels for best adhesion.
