Designed to be pulled to the surface, directly alerting the equipment operator to the existence of a buried facility. This is due to the inclusion of a 3,000-pound tensile strength para-aramid fiber core material that ensures Signaltape does not shear until visible to the equipment operator.

- Sinusoidal core is made of shear resistant para-aramid fiber.
- Patent-pending sine wave creates slack which coupled with its high strength works to pull tape to surface without shearing underground.
- The proprietary technology also allows the tape to maintain performance from varying angles of approach.
- Hydrophobic material allows the film to be more visible in the toughest conditions.
- Provide clear confirmation of buried utilities. Printed legend is fully customizable to include color logos, symbols, and text of any size/font at no additional cost.
- Our process allows the embedding of location devices including any tracer wire or 3M™ RF path markers.

It is recommended that Signaltape® Underground Warning Tape be buried 12 in (30 cm) or less below grade. The minimum distance from the top of the pipeline should be 12 in, with 24 - 36 in (60 - 90 cm) recommended as shown below.
Each run of Signaltape® must be overlapped by a minimum of 20 ft (6 m) or must be joined as shown on instruction sheet where possible.
Signaltape may also be installed with static or vibratory plow.
