3" x 1000' Detectable Underground Tape is a high-visibility warning tape designed to mark buried telephone lines during excavation and underground utility work. The bright orange color meets APWA (American Public Works Association) standards for telecommunications identification, alerting excavation crews to the presence of telephone infrastructure below ground.
This detectable tape provides dual-layer protection with double laminated construction—either aluminum foil or polyethylene—making it detectable by standard locating equipment. The 3-inch width offers clear visibility when trenches are opened, while the 1000-foot roll length covers extended utility runs without frequent splicing. The tape installs 6-12 inches above buried telephone lines as a visual warning system before equipment reaches critical infrastructure.
