Ensure the tape is positioned correctly to cover the service area and that the printed text is oriented for easy reading if exposed.

Compatibility: The tape is compatible with standard utility locating equipment designed to detect metallic elements. It is intended for use in various soil conditions and with different types of buried services.
Care: Store the tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its integrity. Avoid exposing it to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. The material is resistant to rot and degradation under normal storage conditions.
