Troubleshooting

Tape is not detectable with locating equipment.

Ensure the tape is laid flat and at the correct depth. Verify the locating equipment is functioning correctly and set to detect the type of signal from the stainless steel wires. Check for any damage to the tape during installation.

Tape appears to be degrading prematurely.

Confirm the tape was stored away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the backfill material used was not overly abrasive or chemically reactive. Contact customer support if degradation is significant.

Printed 'GAS' marking is unclear.

Inspect the tape upon arrival for any printing defects. If the marking is illegible, do not use the tape and contact the supplier for a replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly enhances safety by clearly marking buried gas lines.
  • Dual steel wires ensure accurate detection by locating equipment.
  • Durable material withstands harsh underground environments.
  • High visibility aids in preventing accidental damage during digging.
  • Clear labeling reduces risk of confusion with other utilities.

Cons

  • Requires proper installation depth to be effective.
  • Effectiveness relies on available detection equipment.
  • Specific length (4M) might not suit all project sizes without joining.
  • Detectability might be affected by extreme soil conditions or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the tape and carefully place it directly above the buried gas line. The recommended placement is typically 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) above the utility.
  2. Ensure the tape is laid flat and not kinked.
  3. Backfill the trench carefully, avoiding excessive force that could damage the tape.

Compatibility:

This tape is compatible with standard non-metallic and metallic pipe and cable locators that can detect the embedded stainless steel wires.

Care:

  • Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its material integrity.
  • While durable, avoid unnecessary stretching or sharp bending during installation.
  • The tape is resistant to rot and common soil chemicals.
