FAQs

What standards does this tape meet?

This tape is compliant with EN 12613 standards for underground warning indicators.

How do I locate the tape underground?

You can detect the tape using a standard electromagnetic utility locator, which picks up the two embedded stainless steel wires.

Is the material environmentally safe?

Yes, the tape is made from 100% recyclable Polypropylene.

What is the thickness of the tape?

The tape is 130 microns thick, providing excellent durability against soil pressure.

Can I use this for non-water utilities?

This specific variant is labeled for water; always ensure the label matches the utility being marked to avoid identification errors.

Does the tape rot when buried?

No, it is specifically designed to be rot-resistant to ensure long-term integrity underground.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty detecting the tape with a locator

Verify that your detection equipment is calibrated to locate metal conductors and ensure the sensor is positioned directly over the path of the tape.

Tape appears brittle during installation

Ensure the product has not been stored in direct sunlight, which can degrade the polymer properties of the tape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated stainless steel wires for accurate location detection
  • High-visibility design for enhanced safety
  • Durable Polypropylene construction resistant to rot
  • Meets EN 12613 industry standards
  • Environmentally friendly recyclable material

Cons

  • Requires proper storage away from direct sunlight
  • Not suitable for above-ground identification applications
  • Performance depends on the precision of detection equipment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, the tape must be installed at a consistent depth above the conduit, typically guided by local utility guidelines. When laying the tape, ensure it is pulled taut to avoid tangling. Regarding compatibility, the stainless steel wiring is designed to work with all standard electromagnetic line locators. For storage and care, keep the rolls in a cool, dry environment. Because Polypropylene can degrade under intense UV exposure, the material should only be unspooled during the installation process and kept protected from sunlight before burial.
