Electrical Tape Hellermann Tyton 712-00204

Hellermann Tyton 712-00204 electrical tape is a PVC insulating tape designed for reliable electrical insulation, mechanical protection and identification of wire joints and cable splices. With a length of 10 m, width of 19 mm and a thickness of 0.31 mm, the tape offers a balanced combination of flexibility and strength suitable for general-purpose wiring tasks in residential, commercial and light industrial environments.

Advantages

The tape provides consistent electrical insulation and adheres well to common cable sheaths and conductor insulation. Its PVC composition makes it resistant to moisture and a range of chemicals typically encountered in installation environments. The material remains flexible at room temperature to allow neat wrapping around connectors and irregular shapes, while the specified thickness gives adequate mechanical protection and tear resistance for routine handling and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Insulating wire splices and terminations
• Bundling and identifying cables
• Temporary repairs to damaged cable jackets
• General electrical installation and maintenance work

Key specifications

• Material: PVC insulating tape
• Length: 10 m
• Width: 19 mm
• Thickness: 0.31 mm
• Temperature performance: suitable for typical indoor and outdoor ambient conditions (room temperature flexibility)
• Resistance: moisture and common chemical resistance for installation environments

How to use

Ensure surfaces to be taped are clean, dry and free of oils or dust. Start wrapping at least one full turn onto the intact insulation, overlap each turn by approximately half the tape width to achieve a uniform layer, and extend the wrap slightly beyond the repair or splice. Apply firm tension while wrapping to ensure good adhesion and compact layering. For layered insulation or higher voltage requirements, apply multiple layers until the desired insulation thickness is achieved. Trim the tape cleanly at the end of the wrap and press the end down to secure the bond.

Usage recommendations

Use this tape for low-voltage insulation and general wiring tasks. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight where continuous UV resistance is required; for permanent outdoor exposure consult a product with specified UV-stabilization. Store tape in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain adhesive properties and flexibility.
