3M 7000132915 Buried Barricade Tape Electric Line

Product Description

The 3M 7000132915 is a buried barricade tape from the Scotch Barricade Tapes 300 Series, designed to mark the location of underground electric lines during and after excavation work. Bold 2-inch black characters printed on a bright background deliver a high-visibility warning that reads CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW. This tape is intended for direct burial applications, serving as a non-detectable warning layer above underground electrical conduit or direct-buried cable. It is typically installed by electricians, utility contractors, and civil crews during trenching operations.

This barricade tape is suited for residential, commercial, and municipal utility installations where a visual warning barrier is required above buried electrical infrastructure. It is placed in the trench above the conduit or cable during backfill, so that future excavation crews encounter the warning tape before reaching the energized line. The tape is sold by the roll with a minimum order quantity of 16 rolls.

Installation Notes

Buried barricade tape is installed by electricians or utility contractors during trench backfill operations. The tape is laid horizontally in the trench at a specified depth above the buried electrical line, typically per local jurisdiction requirements or applicable NEC guidelines. No special tools are required, but installers should verify local code requirements for tape depth and color coding before installation. Ensure all energized conductors are de-energized and locked out prior to any work in the trench.
