Ips 513285 Detectable Underground Sewer Tape 3in X 1000ft

Product Description

The IPS 513285 is a detectable underground warning tape designed to mark buried sewer lines. Printed with a sewer identification legend and colored green to meet standard utility color codes, this tape is installed directly over buried pipe to alert excavators and contractors before accidental strike. The 3-inch width and 1000-foot roll length make it suitable for continuous runs on residential and commercial sewer installations. It is a standard consumable used by plumbers, pipe crews, and utility contractors during burial and backfill operations.

This tape is used in underground sewer and drainage installations where local codes or project specifications require buried utility marking. It is appropriate for residential sewer laterals, municipal sewer main work, and commercial site utility installations. The 1000-foot roll format supports extended runs without splicing, reducing material handling during trench backfill. Plumbing contractors and underground utility crews are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Detectable underground warning tape is installed by plumbers and underground utility contractors during trench backfill, typically placed 12 inches above the top of the buried pipe. Verify placement depth with local codes or project specifications before backfilling. No special tools are required, but care should be taken to keep the tape flat and aligned over the pipe centerline to maintain a continuous detectable signal path.
