Detectable and non-detectable tape
Detectable tape is a metallized tape for use with non-metallic lines, usually installed below grade approximately 6″ from the surface and can be located by any standard pipe locator. This tape is installed by utilities for gas, water, sewer, telecommunication, electric lines, and more. It can be tied in at valves, risers, etc. for easy reading without using stakes. It is easily locatable even if severed by prior diggings.
Detectable and non-detectable underground marking tape rolls available, all printed with black lettering.
Colors and legends designed in accordance with the APWA National Color Code.
