This PegDev Detectable Underground Warning Tape is designed for professionals and DIYers needing to clearly mark buried sewer pipes. Its primary benefit is preventing accidental damage during excavation through its detectable nature and high visibility. A caveat is its specific use for sewer lines, requiring the correct tape for other utilities. This premium quality marker tape is 130-micron thick Polypropylene, colored red, and features embedded stainless steel wires for easy detection with standard equipment, complying with EN 12613 and offering rot-resistance for long-term use.

The primary purpose is to provide a clear visual and electronic warning of the presence of buried sewer pipes, helping to prevent accidental damage during excavation.
The tape contains two embedded stainless steel wires that can be detected from the surface using standard metal detection equipment.
The tape is made from durable 130-micron thick Polypropylene.
The red color is a standard industry color used to indicate the presence of sewer pipes, providing an immediate visual cue.
Yes, the tape complies with the EN 12613 standard for underground warning tapes.
This specific tape is designed and colored for sewer pipes. It is recommended to use the appropriate colored and marked warning tape for other utility types.
The tape is rot-resistant and designed for long-term underground installations, providing detectability for many years.
Ensure the detection equipment is functioning correctly and is set to the appropriate frequency for metal detection. Verify the tape was installed with the wires facing upwards or downwards as per equipment sensitivity. Check for excessive depth or interference from other metallic utilities.
Handle the tape with care during deployment. If minor tears occur, ensure they are properly covered during backfilling. For significant damage, consider replacing the affected section if possible, or marking the area with additional caution.
Ensure the tape has been stored at a moderate temperature. Extreme cold can make the material brittle and harder to unroll. Allow the tape to warm up to ambient temperature before attempting to deploy it.
Setup: The warning tape should be installed directly above the buried sewer pipe. It is typically laid in the trench backfill, approximately 30-50 cm (12-20 inches) above the pipe, depending on local regulations and depth of the utility. Ensure the tape is laid flat and not kinked for optimal detection. Cover with soil and continue backfilling.
Compatibility: This tape is designed to be detected by standard metal detection equipment. It is compatible with most underground locating devices used by utility locating professionals and construction sites.
Care: The tape requires no active care once installed. Its primary function is passive warning. Protect the stored tape from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight before installation. Ensure it is stored in a clean, dry environment.
