4. Installation Technique
The tape shall be applied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform covering. In most applications, this tension will reduce the tape’s width to 5/8 of its original width.
Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging.
5. Maintenance
TemflexTM 1500 Electrical Tape is stable under normal storage conditions.
