A two or three split is often used
for NG tubing. Use a tape that
will retain strength when in strips.
• Tear off approximately 4-6
inches of tape.
• Split tape lengthwise into three
sections, leaving an untorn
section at the top. The untorn
section should be long enough
to extend at least to middle of
the nose (fig. 1).
• Secure untorn section of tape
to the nose (fig. 1).
• Firmly adhere centre “split” of
tape down the centre of tubing
(fig. 2).
• Wrap second strip around
tubing (fig. 3).
• Repeat in opposite direction
with third strip (fig. 4).
• An alternative configuration is
a two-split without a centre
tape strip.
• This application may be used
over a tape platform, or a
reinforcing tape strip may be
applied over the untorn section.
