Shurtape updates design on HVAC tape
Shurtape Technologies has modified the design on its HVAC tape in response to field feedback that inspectors look for “red-letter tape” when performing HVAC inspections. Shurtape DC 181 will now feature red lettering on silver (metallic) film tape, replacing the existing silver (metallic) tape with black lettering design.
Shurtape DC 181 film tape is for use on Class 1 Flex Duct for connecting, joining, sealing and patching flexible air ductwork in a residential, commercial or industrial setting. The tape features an acrylic adhesive system, can withstand temperatures ranging from -10 F to 210 F and is clearly printed with the UL Listing that building codes require today.
“We’ve listened to the market and our customers and believe making this simple change to our DC 181 will help homeowners and building inspectors better identify that the proper tape is being used for flexible duct work, making life on the job site easier for HVAC professionals,” said Dennis Ineman, Shurtape’s product manager for HVAC & specialty tapes.
