Community Reviews
3M Temflex Rubber Splicing Tape is a self vulcanizing rubber tape best suited for insulating low voltage and 600 volt connections, especially bolted, split bolt, and awkwardly shaped wire joints. It is described as weatherproof and useful in harsh environments, with a tight rubber to rubber wrap that fuses into a solid mass over time. The tape also gets used for temporary hose repairs and fruit tree grafting. The main caution is that it must be applied correctly by removing the backing as you wrap, and it can become slippery when wet.
Common Questions (5)
It is used for low-voltage cable insulation, moisture barriers, and weatherproofing, especially on bolted or oddly shaped wire connections where heat shrink won't fit. It also works for split-bolt connections, lugs, and other harsh-environment electrical splices.
Yes, it is commonly described as good for up to 600V when applied with a half-lapped wrap. It is intended for low-voltage electrical insulation rather than silicone sealing.
Remove the backing as you wrap, stretch the tape so the rubber overlaps rubber, and start with the first several inches exposed so it can stick to itself. It has no glue; the wrap fuses into a solid rubber mass over time, so a sharp blade is needed for removal.
Yes, it can be used as a temporary repair for low-pressure water hoses or pipes, and it is also used for fruit tree grafting to hold scion and rootstock tightly until the graft heals.
Yes, it can be wrapped over with 3M Super 33+ to hold it in place. For motor lugs, a backwards lap of 33+ first can make later removal easier.
