Overview
This TPV710616 light density vinyl foam tape measures 0.375" thick by 1" wide by 30' long. It is a closed-cell Polyvinyl Chloride foam tape designed for general purpose sealing, gasketing, and cushioning applications where the tape needs to conform to irregular surfaces or radius curves.
R&P Service Insight
Foam sealing tape should be selected by size, compression behavior, surface conditions, and operating temperature. For trailer and RV service work, the right tape thickness and width can help improve sealing around panels, trim, HVAC areas, and other mating surfaces.
- Surface Prep: Clean and dry the mounting surface before applying adhesive-backed foam tape.
- Compression: Light density foam compresses easily, making it useful where conformability is required.
- Application Check: Verify the tape is suitable for the temperature and surface conditions of the job.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Best matched by tape thickness, width, roll length, compression needs, and service environment.
Vehicle / System Fit: General trailer, truck, RV, heating, sealing, gasketing, and shop-use applications where 3/8" x 1" foam tape is required.
Installation Notes: Apply to a clean, dry surface. Avoid stretching the foam during installation, and press evenly along the full contact area.
Performance Insight: Closed-cell PVC foam provides conformability, strength, resilience, and resistance to oxidation, weather, and fungi.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: R&P Carriages
Application Reference: Trailer, truck, RV, heating, and sealing references describe common use cases only.
What This Means: This listing is for one roll of TPV710616 light density closed-cell vinyl foam tape, not a vehicle-specific OEM replacement part.
Before Ordering: Verify tape size, surface type, compression requirement, temperature range, and application environment before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
Foam tape is commonly used when two surfaces need a compressible sealing layer. For best results, confirm the tape will compress enough to close the gap without over-compressing or bunching during installation.
- Check the Gap: Confirm the 0.375" thickness is appropriate for the surface gap being sealed.
- Check the Width: Make sure the 1" tape width provides enough contact area for the sealing surface.
- Check the Temperature: Service temperature is listed from -40 to 180 degrees, with application temperature listed from 50 to 110 degrees.
