3M Temflex Vinyl Electrical Tape 165 is a 6 mil (0.152 mm) thick vinyl insulating tape engineered for versatility in a variety of applications, including cable jacket repair, harnessing and bundling cables, phase identification, wire fishing, and mechanical protection on splices rated up to 600V. It is ideal for light to moderate indoor and outdoor weather-protected conditions, with a temperature range of 19 °F (-7 °C) to 194 °F (90 °C) per CSA-C22.2 No. 197 standards. Made from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this tape is both flame-retardant and cold-weather resistant, providing mechanical protection without adding unnecessary bulk. Thanks to its robust formulation, the tape can help reduce moisture ingress when used as an overwrap in combination with a rubber splicing or mastic tape product. Additionally, 3M Temflex 165 Tape is UL Listed and CSA Certified as an insulating tape, and it is manufactured without the use of solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), underscoring its commitment to safety and environmental responsibility. To meet your specific requirements, the tape is available in black, blue, brown, gray, green, orange, red, purple, white, and yellow. Discover the insulating capabilities of 3M Temflex Vinyl Electrical Tape 165.3M Temflex Vinyl Electrical Tape 165, and this product family exemplifies the commitment to developing high-performance electrical solutions that address the daily challenges faced by customers. At 3M, the focus is on innovation, enhancing application efficiency and effectiveness in a broad range of working conditions and temperature environments. For best application practices, apply in half-lapped layers with enough tension to create a uniform wrap. For most applications, this tension will reduce the tape width to approximately 5/8 of its original size. When taping pigtail splices, wrap the tape beyond the ends of the wires and then fold it back to provide a protective cushion against cut-through. For the final wrap, apply the tape without tension to help prevent flagging.
