Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Detectable Mesh Water Pipe Marker is an essential safety tool for professional contractors, utility companies, and landscapers tasked with identifying and protecting underground water lines. By combining a highly visible warning label with an integrated detectable wire, it provides a dual-layer defense against accidental damage during excavation, though it requires careful tensioning during installation to ensure it stays in place over the pipe.

Is this product suitable for other utilities?

This specific marker is labeled for water pipes; using incorrect marking colors or labels for other utilities may violate safety regulations.

Does it need to be connected to an electrical power source?

Can it be reused?

No, this is a single-use safety product designed to be left permanently in the ground.

What standard does this meet?

Troubleshooting

Wire not responding to locating equipment

Check that the locating equipment is tuned to the correct frequency and that there is no break in the wire during installation.

Mesh shifting during backfill

Ensure the mesh is held in place by a light layer of soil or sand before compacting the full trench.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Dual-detection capabilities (visual and electromagnetic)
  • Compliant with EN 12613 safety standards
  • High resistance to soil corrosion and rot
  • Large 200mm width provides ample warning coverage

Cons

  • Requires proper installation depth to be effective
  • Must be carefully backfilled to prevent shifting
  • Requires a separate locating device for the wire functionality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires laying the mesh flat over the backfilled pipe material before final site grading. Ensure the mesh is not twisted during the process to maintain the readability of the warning text. The wire ends should be accessible or anchored if you intend to use them for systematic mapping. For care, avoid using sharp tools near the mesh during installation to prevent compromising the integrated wire. The material is designed for permanent underground placement and requires no maintenance once properly buried.
