3M 7000133190 Detectable Buried Barricade Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7000133190 is a detectable buried barricade tape from the Scotch 400 Series, engineered for underground utility marking applications. The tape is designed to be buried above utility lines so that locating equipment can detect its presence without excavation, helping crews identify the line before digging begins. It carries a printed CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW warning, making it appropriate for electrical utility installations. Licensed electricians and utility contractors use this tape as part of standard underground installation practice to protect buried conductors from accidental strike during future excavation work.

This tape is used in residential and commercial electrical utility installations where direct-burial conductors, conduit runs, or service laterals are placed underground. It is installed directly in the trench above the utility line before backfilling, creating a detectable and visible warning layer. The detectable construction allows locating devices to identify the tape from the surface, reducing the risk of accidental damage during future digging operations in the same area.

Key Features

• Detectable construction allows surface-level locating equipment to identify buried tape without excavation
• Printed CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW legend provides a clear visual warning upon excavation
• Part of the 3M Scotch 400 Series, designed specifically for underground utility marking
• Sold by the roll for straightforward installation in standard trench applications
• Minimum order quantity of 8 rolls supports project-scale purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use detectable warning tape for buried electrical utility installations requiring above-line marking prior to backfill.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or utility contractors following applicable local codes and NEC guidelines for underground wiring methods. The tape is placed in the trench above the buried conductor or conduit before backfilling, at a depth that will be encountered during any future excavation in the area. No special tools are required for tape placement, but installers should ensure the tape lies flat and continuous along the full length of the utility run. Always de-energize any existing nearby circuits before beginning trench work in the vicinity of active utilities.
