The Pegdev Underground Detectable Warning Tape is an essential safety solution for construction professionals and utility contractors tasked with marking buried gas lines. Designed to provide a clear surface warning while preventing accidental excavation damage, this 150mm wide tape offers high-visibility and long-term durability; however, users should ensure proper burial depth according to local utility regulations to maximize its effectiveness.

It is designed to be used with standard electromagnetic utility locators that detect the embedded stainless steel wire.
The 150mm width is a industry-standard size providing excellent visibility and a wide detection signature.
This specific variant is labeled for gas lines; using it for other utilities may violate safety regulations and cause confusion.
The tape is rot-resistant to ensure it remains intact for years in the ground, but it is made of recyclable materials.
You should always follow your local, state, or utility-specific guidelines regarding the installation depth of warning markers.
Verify that the tape was laid flat without excessive twisting and check the battery levels of your utility locator.
Ensure the trench area is cleared of heavy mud and debris; the yellow color is designed for high contrast in standard soil types.
Ensure the trench bottom is free of sharp rocks or debris that could puncture the tape as the backfill is compacted.
Installation requires laying the tape flat above the buried gas utility before the final backfilling of the trench. Ensure the tape is not twisted, as this can affect the accuracy of the magnetic signal returned to the locator. While the tape is rot-resistant, it should be stored in a dry, cool area before use to prevent premature degradation of the outer polymer coating. Regularly check that the stainless steel wires remain intact throughout the length of the run to maintain full detectability.
