## Overview

Presco Underground Detectable Tape is a professional-grade, non-adhesive 5-mil reinforced tape with aluminum foil backing, designed for clear underground utility marking. Available in 6-inch by 1000-foot rolls, it withstands extreme temperatures (-60°F to 250°F) and harsh underground conditions without fading or degrading. Its APWA color-coded, fade-resistant print and durable PET/foil/poly laminate blend make it the go-to choice for preventing costly utility damage across construction, mining, and utility industries.

## Description

Presco Underground Detectable Warning Tape is a non-adhesive 5-mil thick laminated barrier tape designed to be buried 6 to 12 inches above pipes, conduits, and cables to alert excavators to underground utilities. A full-width solid aluminum foil core lets crews locate the tape from the surface using any standard non-ferrous pipe and cable locator, reducing the risk of costly utility strikes during digging.The tape uses a laminated PET / foil / polyethylene construction with the bold black legend reverse printed on the underside of the clear top film, sealing the ink against soil moisture, alkalis, and acids so the message stays readable for years underground. APWA color-coded backgrounds make the utility type easy to identify the moment the tape is uncovered.Service temperature: -60 to 250 degrees F. Available in 2 in., 3 in., and 6 in. widths on 1000 ft. rolls and a full range of APWA color and legend combinations including buried electric, high voltage cable, fiber optic, oil, water, gas, sewer, storm drain, force main, and reclaimed water lines.Application Instructions• After the utility line, pipe, or conduit has been laid in the trench, backfill to within 6 to 12 inches of finished grade (or follow the utility owner's specified burial depth).- Unroll the tape along the trench directly above the buried utility, message side facing up, keeping the tape flat and continuous.- Overlap any splices by at least 6 inches and twist the tape ends to keep the aluminum foil cores in contact for continuous locator signal.- Complete the backfill, then compact the soil per the project's specifications.- To locate the tape later, sweep the surface with a standard non-ferrous (metal) pipe and cable locator tuned to a passive metallic mode.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are there any issues/safety concerns with using Detectable tape vs non detectable tape?**
A: I don't know what safety issues would you be concerned with? The tape isn't sticky tape, it is used for running underground with lines that may not have the capability to be located. The tape is metallic and can be found with a locator.

**Q: What is a non-ferrous locator?**
A: A detection device that picks up signal from a non iron /steel source like copper pipe, bronze etc.

**Q: When using a non-ferrous detector, does the detector identify what the tape indicates is buried (such a water tape) or just that something is buried?**
A: No, just there is a line

**Q: how deep can the tape be buried to still be detectable? 12"-24"?**
A: That will depend on the power of what your using to detect it 

Running your signal and a locator can be up to 10’ down
