Pegdev Underground Detectable Warning Tape - Water - 150mm x 1m

Its primary purpose is to provide a clear, visible, and detectable warning layer above underground utilities, specifically water lines, to prevent accidental damage during excavation.

The tape contains two integrated stainless steel wires that can be located from the surface using standard utility locating equipment.

The tape is made from robust 130-micron Polypropylene, which is durable and resistant to rot.

Yes, the tape is compliant with EN 12613 standards for underground warning tapes.

While this specific variant is marked 'WATER', Pegdev offers other variants for different services like electrical, gas, and telephone lines. It is crucial to use the correct tape for the service being marked.

Typically, the tape is laid 300mm (12 inches) above the buried utility, but always refer to local regulations and project specifications for precise depth requirements.

Yes, the tape is made from fully recyclable polypropylene.

Ensure the correct type of locating equipment is being used. Verify that the tape was installed with the stainless steel wires facing the expected direction of detection. Check for any kinks or damage to the tape that might have compromised the wires.

This may indicate improper storage. Ensure the tape has been stored away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If degradation is significant, replace the tape.

This could be due to proximity to other metallic utilities or improper installation. Ensure the tape is laid directly above the intended water line and that other metallic objects are not interfering with the signal.
