3M 7000133191 Detectable Buried Barricade Tape

Product Description

The 3M 7000133191 is a detectable buried barricade tape from the Scotch 400 Series, engineered for marking and protecting underground utility installations. The tape is designed to be buried directly above utility lines, where it serves two functions: warning excavators of the utility below and allowing above-ground locating equipment to detect the tape before digging begins. This dual-purpose design helps reduce the risk of accidental strikes on buried infrastructure. The tape carries a printed caution message identifying a buried fiber optic line below, making it appropriate for telecommunications and data infrastructure installations. It weighs 8 pounds per roll and is sold in rolls.

This barricade tape is intended for use in underground utility marking applications where fiber optic cable or conduit is installed. It is typically placed in the trench above the utility line during installation, providing a permanent buried warning layer. Utility contractors, telecom crews, and civil construction teams use this product during new installations and infrastructure upgrades. It is suited for both residential and commercial underground fiber optic runs where line protection and future locatability are required.

Installation Notes

Buried barricade tape is installed by utility and telecom contractors during open-trench work. The tape is placed in the trench at a specified depth above the utility line, per local code requirements and the utility owner's installation standards. Consult applicable local ordinances and the utility company's specifications for required burial depth and tape placement. Always verify the trench is clear and utility lines are properly supported before backfilling.
