Engineering/ Architectural Specification: Primary electrical insulation (branch wiring in wet or dry locations): All splices for 600 volt wire rated 105C (220F) and below shall be insulated with a minimum of two half-lapped layers of Scotch(R) Super 33+TM Vinyl Electrical Tape. All connectors having irregular surfaces shall be padded with 3MTM ScotchfilTM Electrical Insulation Putty or Scotch(R) Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape 130C prior to insulating with Scotch(R) Super 33+TM Vinyl Electrical Tape. Mechanical protection (outer jacketing): All rubber and thermoplastic insulating high voltage power cable tape splices and repairs shall be overwrapped with at least two halflapped layers of Scotch(R) Super 33+TM Vinyl Electrical Tape. Installation Techniques: Scotch(R) Super 33+TM Vinyl Electrical Tape shall be applied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to produce a uniform wind (for most applications this tension will reduce the tape's width to approximately 5/8 of its 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. 3M, Scotch, Scotchfil and Super 33+ are trademarks of 3M Company.
