3M 7000133183 Buried Barricade Tape High Voltage

Product Description

The 3M 7000133183 is a buried barricade tape designed to mark the location of high-voltage electrical cables installed underground. Part of the Scotch Barricade Tapes 300 Series, it features bold 2-inch black characters on a bright background that remain clearly visible to excavators, utility crews, and contractors working near buried infrastructure. The tape is sold by the roll and is an economical solution for permanent subsurface marking. Licensed electricians and utility installation crews typically specify this tape during conduit and direct-burial cable installations to meet safe-dig and locate requirements.

This tape is used in residential and commercial electrical installations where high-voltage cables are buried below grade. It is placed directly above the cable in the trench before backfilling, creating a visible warning layer that alerts anyone who later excavates in the area. It is well suited for utility contractors, electrical crews, and municipal infrastructure projects requiring durable underground hazard identification.

Key Features

• Bold 2-inch black text on a bright contrasting background for high visibility
• Pre-printed warning message: CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE BURIED BELOW
• Part of the proven Scotch Barricade Tapes 300 Series
• Sold by the roll for straightforward installation in open trenches
• Economical construction suited for high-volume buried utility marking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style underground warning tape for buried high-voltage electrical cable installations in residential, commercial, and utility trenching applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or utility contractors during trenching and cable-laying operations. The tape is placed horizontally above the buried cable before the trench is backfilled, typically at a depth that will intercept hand tools during any future excavation. No special tools are required, but all excavation and burial work should comply with applicable NEC requirements and local utility authority standards. Ensure the tape runs continuously along the full length of the cable run with no gaps.
