  • ColorPurple

Professional Electrical Tape

This UL and CSA listed vinyl electrical tape measures 3/4 inch wide by 60 feet long with a 7 mil thickness. The purple colour helps identify specific circuits during wiring work. It suits contractors and electricians who need reliable insulation for residential or commercial jobs. The PVC construction resists flame, heat and weather exposure.

Upgrade From Cloth Or Rubber Tapes

Cloth friction tape absorbs moisture and rubber tape degrades under UV light, while this vinyl formulation maintains adhesion in damp or sunny conditions. The 19.4 pounds per inch tensile strength withstands pulling during cable pulls without snapping. Switch when the old roll leaves residue or fails inspection on high-voltage connections.

Quick Application On Clean Wire

Unroll the tape, stretch slightly and wrap with half-overlap for a water-resistant seal; the strong adhesive bonds instantly to copper, PVC jacket or previous vinyl layers. Cold temperatures below 10 °C can stiffen the backing and reduce tack, so warm the roll in a pocket first. Avoid stretching over sharp edges that could puncture the .01 inch foil.

Questions about this item

What diameter spool or holder does the 720-inch roll of OL-38462 tape require?

The roll measures 720 inches long by 0.75 inches wide, so any standard 3/4-inch electrical-tape holder or spindle that accepts a 60-foot roll will fit.

How do I apply the tape so the 19.4 lb/in tensile strength holds, and what step do installers often skip?

Stretch the vinyl gently as you wrap, overlapping each turn by half the width; the step most often skipped is the final firm press that activates the full adhesive bond.

When should I replace the purple vinyl tape on an outdoor conduit exposed to sun and rain?

Replace it once the surface becomes chalky, the edges curl, or the adhesive no longer seals against moisture — typically after several seasons of UV and weather exposure.
