ABSTRACT:
A self-adherent, stretchable, resilient pressure wrapping tape and method of application for compressingly protecting a wire splice or the like, the tape having a gauge incorporated therein for indicating the amount of stretch of the tape. The tape is stretchingly wrapped around the wire splice and has a tensile strength and resilient memory to compressingly engage the wire splice. It is necessary to stretch the tape a certain amount to apply the correct amount of compression; therefore, a gauge is included which indicates the amount of stretch of the tape. The gauge includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced impressions printed on the tape which have a certain visual appearance with the tape unstretched, and another visual appearance when the tape is stretched to the correct amount for the desired compression. For example, the impression may appear as a rectangle with illegible lettering with the tape unstretched, but with the tape stretched correctly the impression appears as a square with legible lettering.
