Detectable Underground Tape 1000ft

Brady 91606 detectable underground tape is a 1000 foot roll of orange polyester designed for marking buried utility lines. The metal detectable construction allows location equipment to trace the tape path before excavation begins. It serves contractors and municipal crews who need reliable identification of fiber optic infrastructure.

Buried marker tape thermals noise power

As a passive polyester marking tape the product generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no electrical power during installation or long term burial. Performance depends only on the tape remaining intact and detectable beneath the surface. No active components are present to create thermal or acoustic output.

Metal detectable polyester construction

The tape uses metal detectable polyester so standard locating tools can find the buried line without digging. Legend reads Caution Buried Fiber Optic Line Below in black on the orange background. Roll measures 1000 feet long by 2 inches wide at 5 mil thickness. Buyers needing a non detectable tape or a different legend should select another product.

Questions about this item

How is the Brady 91606 detectable underground tape installed, and what step is commonly missed?

Unroll the tape directly into the trench above the buried line at the recommended depth, then backfill carefully; the step often missed is verifying the metal detectable layer faces up so locators can find it later.

What maintenance or replacement will the Brady 91606 tape need after installation?

The tape is designed to remain in place for the life of the utility; no routine maintenance is required, and replacement only occurs if the line is excavated and the tape is damaged during digging.

What limit appears first when the Brady 91606 tape is under sustained ground pressure and moisture?

The 5 mil polyester construction resists tearing and degradation, so the first practical limit is physical damage from heavy excavation equipment rather than material failure underground.
