Installation
Cotran Brand T28-thin waterseal mastic tape should be applied in half–lapped layers until desired insulation build up is reached.
Step 1 Wipe off the dusts on the splice area before wrapping.
Step 2 Remove the liner and stretch the tape to 1 to 2 times of its original length, apply the tape in 50%-lapped with mastic side toward area to the wrapped. Stretching the tape to 4 times of its original length is not recommended.
Step 3 Make sure there is 30mm to 50mm wrapping tape above both sides of the splice area.
Step 4 After T28-thin waterseal mastic tape is applied, overwrapping COTRAN PVC insulation tape is recommended, apply 3 layers of COTRAN PVC insulation tape in a 50% overlapping with no tension. Make sure not to overstretch the PVC tape during installation.
