Underground Gas Line Warning Tape

This non-adhesive detectable tape warns excavators of buried gas lines across utility, construction and mining sites. The APWA colour-coded legend is permanently imprinted with black ink on a reinforced laminate that survives temperatures from -60F to 250F.

6 Inch Wide 1000 Foot Roll Construction

A 0.8 mil polypropylene face, 0.35 mil solid aluminium foil core and 3.75 mil polyethylene backing create a 5-mil composite that locators can trace without ferrous interference. The roll lays flat in open trenches and requires no adhesive to stay in place during backfill.

Replaces Unmarked Or Non-Detectable Tape

The aluminium core makes the line traceable with standard non-ferrous locators, reducing the risk of catastrophic strikes on gas pipes. The jump is worth it whenever codes require verifiable underground marking for gas utilities.

Questions about this item

Does the APWA color standard on this 6-inch tape cover gas-line identification?

Yes, the multi-color imprint follows APWA standard colors with the legend CAUTION BURIED GAS LINE BELOW for gas-utility marking.

What trench width and depth will a 6-inch by 1000-foot roll suit?

The 6-inch width spans typical utility trenches and the 1000-foot length covers long runs in a single roll.

How do you orient the aluminum foil core when laying the tape so a locator picks it up?

Unroll the tape with the 0.35 mil solid aluminum foil core facing upward, then backfill to keep the conductive layer near the surface for non-ferrous detection.
