 Installation Techniques 

 

3M™ Temflex™ Vinyl Electrical Tape 160 shall be applied in halflapped layers with sufficient tension to produce a uniform wind. On pigtail splices, the tape shall be wrapped beyond the end of the wires and then folded back, leaving a protective cushion to resist  utthrough. Wrap tape up-hill, taping from a smaller diameter surface to a larger diameter surface. Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging.
