The Pegdev Detectable Underground Warning Tape (Sewer Pipe) is designed for contractors and DIYers needing to clearly mark buried sewer pipes. Its primary benefit is preventing accidental damage during excavation by providing a visible and detectable warning. A potential caveat is its specific use case for sewer pipes, requiring different tapes for other utilities. This tape is constructed from durable 130-micron polypropylene, features embedded stainless steel wires for detectability, and is colored red for high visibility, ensuring compliance with EN 12613 standards and offering rot-resistant, long-term protection.

Its primary purpose is to clearly mark the location of buried sewer pipes to prevent accidental damage during excavation activities.
The tape contains two embedded stainless steel wires that can be detected on the surface using standard electronic locating equipment.
The tape is manufactured from durable 130-micron thick Polypropylene.
Yes, it 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 specific colored warning tapes designated for other utilities like water or gas to avoid confusion.
The tape is rot-resistant and made from durable material, designed for long-term installation and protection of buried services.
Typically, the tape is laid approximately 300mm above the buried pipe, with at least 150mm of soil cover before backfilling.
Ensure the locator is set to the correct frequency for steel wires and that the tape is properly buried and not obstructed by other metallic objects. Verify the tape is not damaged.
If damage occurs during installation, splice or replace the damaged section if possible. For significant damage, consider re-installing a new section.
Ensure the tape is installed at the recommended depth and that the soil cover is appropriate. The red color provides primary visibility; electronic detection is the secondary, more reliable method for deep or obscured lines.
