Maybe I missed it.....but what is the rated insulation of this "tape".....100-200-300-500 Volts.? Anybody know.? Thanks

Taken from the product specification PDF : Dielectric: (ASTM D-149) 1,400 v/mil

the 250v is just a rating for the fuse, it has nothing to do with the actual voltage of the unit, if you hookup to 110, your fuse rating will be dbl what is listed, cause the voltage is 1/2 of the 250

It instantly blew the fuse away when connected to 230V. The label at the back that says 250V is for Fuse rating only. Don't get fooled by that. I bought this based on one of the answers above. The user seem to have got it working in Brazil but it could be a lower voltage environment. I am still checking for options to make it work other than using a step down transformer.

I do not think it matter how long the heat tape is as long as the wire is use as heat tape, I hope this help

110 but I would NOT recommend this to anyone! I had one,,,temp had a 6-8 degree variant than what it showed. They sent me as new one, same thing. I know 2 other people that have had the same experience. JUNK,,,IMHO

A person asking such a question as that, probably should not be attaching wires to anything that has a higher voltage than 1.5 Volts DC. That type of question shows that he/she may not have enough experience or knowledge of electicity/electronics to be safe around higher voltages and electroic equipment. For your own safety: please seek on-site advice from an experienced electronic technician or electrician before attaching electrical wires to anything.

Look closely at the picture! See... There is a plug for 120VAC! These Heat tapes work VERY well IF you install them as directed!

It's not a conductor if that's what you mean. It helps to insulate against heat but that isn't is intended purpose. It's the best duct tape I've every used. I'd say its worth the price if you really need some stick.

I suspect the voltage is fine .... Just have to check the configuration.... Lowes/ Menards have usually have both the welder and Rv cables to check

Good question. I think 115/230 volt rating is a misprint. It should say 115/120 volt rating. The plug is not a 230 volt plug.

I have heat tape. It works great. It fluctuates a few degrees ether way. It heats up then once the sensor registers the cut off point it cuts power to the mat. Then when it has cooled a few degrees below the set temp it turns back on. It is an all or nothing thing. It does not regulate the current to keep a steady temp.

Hi! Sorry, it took me this long to response. I had to go and check it since I already stored my fan in the basement. But it read at the bottom 120 volts. I hope this helps or you can.probably contact the seller or manufacturer.

The wire is labeled 18 gauge. I was expecting a thicker gauge as well. If there is any good news here, it is the better rated 600 V and 105 degree wire.

One problem is that the manufacturer doesn't give this use an OK. For low voltage connections--up to 48 volts--try Noco brand NCP-2 battery terminal spray. It doesn't completely dry, but it will keep connections corrosion free to maintain a good connection and reduce friction between moving contacts. I've used NCP-2 since the 1970's for this purpose.

Yes. Per 3M Tech Data : 3m Electrically Conductive Adhesive Tape , may operate under the following Temperature Ranges : Long Term, 158 degree F ( 70 degree Celsius ) ; Short Term,250 degrees Fahrenheit ( 121 degrees C ).Hope this helps *>*

Don't really know but I put the tape on my trailer water tank to keep it from freezing while hunting in Colorado, this fall, and it worked just fine. The temp did fall below zero and while the generator was running I plugged it in to the cord and heated the plastic water tank. This kept the temp in the tank about 45 in the night. Nothing froze and nothing broke so i guess it worked.

Minimum temperature for heat? I use this in home office in 1 walled off bay in un-insulated 3 car Garage. Tonight it was 52 degrees F when I turned it on and after about 45 minutes its 64. I don't see why it'd have a minimum but may not want to try below 32? Read the manual? Might be specified... Extended warranties: Dunno....in general I never use them but have recently started for my kids cell phones but nothing else. This might be a good candidate though ...it works great after a few years but if something breaks its probably not repairable...(spare parts from China??? no Maytag repairmen on this thing???)
