Re-phasing large feeder conductors with vinyl tape is a job you do twice — once now, and again when the tape dries out, unwinds, and falls into the bottom of the gutter.
The U-Mark U-Phase Large (10704MCM) replaces tape with paint: a valve-activated permanent marker sized for big MCM wire, laying down red identification that adheres permanently to a clean cable sheath and resists handling, abrasion, and heat. Pass inspection the first time, and still pass it in ten years.
The patented design (U.S. Pat. 7,320,553) is built for cable, not paper.
The resilient polyester tip conforms to the curve of large conductors and lasts longer than felt, and the marker delivers roughly 10 times the mileage of vinyl tape at about 20% lower cost per marked phase. U-Mark's Greenlabel paint carries a lower environmental impact than vinyl tape — and wire remnants can be re-marked and reused instead of scrapped over a wrong-color tail.
This is the RED marker — B phase in standard 120/208 coding — from a family that covers black, blue, green, white, yellow, orange, brown, and gray.
Beyond panel phasing, it color-codes circuits, CAT-5, coax, telephone, HDMI/AV, and automotive wire. Marking dries in about 90 seconds, workable from 0°F to 110°F. Stock the phases your work uses and retire the tape drawer.
