The tape is manufactured from durable 130-micron thick Polypropylene.
Yes, the Pegdev Detectable Underground Warning Tape complies with the EN 12613 standard.
While it provides a warning, this specific tape is designed and colored for sewer pipes. For other utilities, it is recommended to use appropriately colored and specified warning tapes.
The tape is rot-resistant and engineered for long-term installations, providing years of reliable marking and detection.
The tape is 150mm wide.
Ensure you are using a compatible detection device calibrated correctly. Verify the tape was installed correctly with the stainless steel wires facing upwards or as per detection equipment guidelines. Check for significant damage to the tape during installation or backfilling.
If the tape is torn or punctured during backfilling, it may compromise its integrity. Use a replacement section of tape and backfill with caution, ensuring no sharp objects are present.
Confirm the depth of the tape above the pipe and that it is laid flat. Ensure there are no other metallic objects interfering with the detection signal in the immediate vicinity.
Setup: Lay the warning tape directly above the buried sewer pipe. It is recommended to place the tape at a specified depth above the pipe (consult local regulations for exact requirements, typically 300mm to 500mm above the pipe) and in line with the pipe's path. Ensure the tape is laid flat and not kinked for optimal detection. Cover with backfill material carefully, avoiding sharp objects that could puncture the tape.
Compatibility: This tape is compatible with standard underground utility detection equipment that can sense metallic components. It is specifically designed for marking sewer pipes.
Care: No ongoing care is required once installed. The tape is designed for permanent burial. Avoid disturbing the area where the tape is installed to maintain its integrity.
