Ask about the product itself, especially details another customer may know from using it. For example: Does this camera take good pictures in low light? How long does this laptop battery last while watching movies? Does this computer have noisy cooling fans?

Presco Underground Detectable Warning Tape is a NON-ADHESIVE 5-mil thick reinforced tape used by professionals in safety, construction, mining, hardware, utilities, and many other industries. Available in 3-inch and 6-inch wide x 1000 foot rolls, this tape can quickly and easily be placed to provide warning of hazardous or dangerous situations on construction sites; road repairs; buried pipes, wires, cables; and more.

Endures temperatures from -60F to 250F. Presco Underground Detectable Warning Tape is primarily used for accurately locating and preventing damage to valuable underground utility installations. It has an aluminum backing to make underground assets easy to find using a non-ferrous locator.

Properly installed, Presco Underground Detectable tape helps avoid catastrophically inaccurate digging when locating utilities such as electrical lines, gas pipes and communication cables. Presco Detectable Underground Warning Tape is a specially laminated PET / foil / poly blend.

The blend (with polyester) provides exceptional strength characteristics when compared to other all polyethylene type detectable warning tapes. The bold black message on its American Public Works Association (APWA) color-coded background is treated to not degrade or fade when exposed to alkalis, acids and or any other destructive underground elements.

Please note sometimes Presco has this manufactured in the U.S. instead of importing in from China and in those cases instead of banded bars with text the detectable rolls have diagonal stripes on them with text. Please see additional photos for an example. Roll specifications are the same for both varieties. Thank you.

Also, Presco Underground Detectable Warning Tape can be shipped on a non-branded neutral core or a Presco branded core. Stock legends and colors include red color, CAUTION: BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW; red color, CAUTION: BURIED HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE BELOW (available in 3 in. width only); orange color, CAUTION: BURIED FIBER OPTIC LINE BELOW; blue color, CAUTION: BURIED WATER LINE BELOW; green color, CAUTION: BURIED SEWER LINE BELOW; yellow color, CAUTION: BURIED GAS LINE BELOW; purple color, CAUTION: BURIED RECLAIMED WATER LINE BELOW.
