Installation Techniques 3M Temflex Vinyl Electrical Tape 165 shall be applied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to produce a uniform wind (for most applications this tension will reduce the tape width to approximately 5/8 of original width). On pigtail splices, the tape shall be wrapped beyond the end of the wires and then folded back, leaving a protective cushion to resist cut-through. 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. Shelf Life & Storage This product has a 5-year shelf life (from date of manufacture) when stored in a humidity- controlled storage (10°C/50°F to 27°C/80°F and <75% relative humidity).
