The PegDev Detectable Underground Warning Tape is designed for contractors and utility installers who need a reliable way to protect and identify buried sewer infrastructure. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of integrated stainless steel wires, allowing for precise location from the surface using standard detection equipment, which significantly reduces the risk of accidental excavation damage; however, users should ensure the tape is laid at the appropriate depth relative to their detection device's sensitivity to maintain signal accuracy.

This specific tape is marked for sewer pipes; it is recommended to use the industry-standard color-coded tape for water lines to avoid confusion.
No, the stainless steel wires are passive and work by reflecting the signal transmitted by your standard utility locator equipment.
The tape is 130 microns thick, providing a balance of flexibility and durability.
Yes, it complies with the EN 12613 safety standard for underground warning devices.
The tape contains two integrated stainless steel wires.
This variant provides 12 meters of tape per roll.
Verify that the detection equipment is set to the correct frequency and that the tape has not been snapped during the backfill process.
Ensure the tape is stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight before installation; once buried, the material is designed for long-term underground stability.
For proper installation, the tape should be buried in the backfill material above the sewer pipe, typically at a depth recommended by local utility codes to ensure it is encountered before the pipe itself. Ensure the tape is laid flat with the printed side facing up. While the material is rot-resistant, avoid stretching the tape excessively during installation to prevent internal wire breakage. No specific maintenance is required once buried, but care should be taken to ensure the tape remains continuous for effective detection.
