Installation

Techniques

The 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.
