Installation Technique

The tape shall be appllied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform covering. On pigtail splices, the tape should be wrapped beyond the end of the wires and then folded back, leaving a protective cushion to resist cutthrough. Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging.
