Electrical Tape 3M 80-0120-1706-9

Scotch® Heavy Duty Vinyl Insulation Tape 22 (3M 80-0120-1706-9) is a vinyl electrical tape designed for heavy-duty insulation and protection of electrical connections. The tape is 32.9 m long and 38 mm wide, offering mechanical strength and abrasion resistance for durable performance in electrical installations and repair work. It is UL listed for electrical insulation up to 600 volts and 176°F (80°C) and meets UL 510 for flame retardancy.

Advantages

The tape provides enhanced mechanical strength and abrasion resistance compared with standard vinyl tapes, resists moisture and many common chemicals, and maintains reliable insulating properties across the specified temperature range. Its UL listing for 600 V and UL 510 flame-retardant rating support safer use in a variety of electrical applications.

Suitable for

• Insulating and protecting splices and terminations in electrical wiring
• Maintenance and repair of electrical cables and harnesses
• Applications requiring abrasion-resistant and moisture-resistant tape

How to use

Clean and dry the surface to be insulated. Stretch and wrap the tape around the conductor or splice with slight overlap to build the required insulation thickness; ensure full coverage without gaps. For best electrical performance, apply several overlapping layers until the insulation reaches the desired dielectric strength. Trim the tape with scissors or a knife and press the final edge to ensure secure adhesion.

Usage recommendations

Use this tape only within its rated temperature and voltage limits (600 V, 176°F / 80°C). For high-voltage or critical applications, follow relevant local electrical codes and consider additional protective measures as required. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive properties.
