Wot-Nots PVC Insulation Tape – Red – 19mm x 4.6m (PWN157)

Description

Genuine Wot-Nots · Part no. PWN157

The Wot-Nots PWN157 is a 4.6m roll of red PVC insulation tape, 19mm wide, with a slight stretch so it hugs the wire. Red is the colour commonly used to mark a positive feed in 12V wiring, so it is useful for flagging a live wire, a fused supply you have added or the stop light wire on trailer electrics.

Good to know

• Which trailer wire is red? On a standard 7-pin 12N plug, red is the stop lights, so red tape helps you find it quickly when chasing a brake light fault on a trailer.
• Why mark a positive feed? So anyone working on the car later can see which wire is live, which helps avoid shorts when panels or the battery come off.
• Can I just tape a fuse holder joint? Tape is fine as an extra layer, but the joint itself should be crimped or soldered and covered in heat shrink, with the tape there for colour and tidiness.

Which one?

For a pack of red rolls, see the Pearl PVC Insulation Tape – Red 19mm x 20m – Pack Of 10 (PPT04); the same short roll also comes in black, blue, green, white and yellow.
