20 Rolls of 3M Temflex 165 Electrical Tape

This pack supplies 20 rolls of 3M Temflex 165 vinyl electrical tape, each measuring 3/4 inch by 60 feet. The PVC backing is flame-retardant and resists abrasion, moisture, alkalis, solvents and acids. It is UL Listed, CSA and VDE certified for insulating applications. Professional electricians and maintenance teams use it for general-purpose wire harnessing and splicing.

Temperature and Voltage Limits

The tape withstands continuous operating temperatures from 32 to 194 °F (0 to 90 °C) and provides a dielectric strength of 1000 V/mil. It is not rated for service above 90 °C or for voltages that exceed its dielectric rating. Buyers who need high-temperature or high-voltage specialised grades should select a tape with certified ratings beyond these limits.

Installation and Common Issues

The rubber adhesive bonds to steel at 18 oz/in and stretches to 200 % elongation, allowing conformable wraps around irregular shapes. It is compatible with rubber and synthetic splicing compounds. Cold conditions below 32 °F can reduce tack, and overstretching beyond the rated elongation may cause the backing to split.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 20-roll pack or look for a smaller quantity?

The 20-roll pack gives you 20 rolls of 3/4" x 60 ft tape, ideal for ongoing electrical work or stocking a workshop.

What does the 1000 V/mil dielectric strength mean when I'm insulating a live wire?

It means each thousandth of an inch of tape thickness can withstand 1000 volts, so the 7-mil PVC backing provides strong insulation for typical low-voltage circuits.

How do the UL Listed, CSA and VDE certifications limit the tape's maximum operating temperature in practice?

The certifications confirm the tape meets safety standards up to its rated 90 °C (194 °F) maximum operating temperature for continuous use.
