Measuring 3 inches wide and 1,000 feet long, this yellow tape is embedded with a metallic core that allows detection with standard pipe and cable locating equipment, even after burial. It is installed directly above gas piping during backfill operations and serves as a passive safety barrier. Plumbers, gas fitters, and utility contractors install this tape as part of standard underground gas line installation to meet common trench-marking requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tape is used in residential and commercial underground gas line installations where code or best practice requires a warning layer above buried piping. It is laid in the trench at a specified depth above the pipe during backfill, so future excavation crews receive a visible and electronically detectable warning before reaching the line. The 1,000-foot roll length suits larger projects and reduces the number of roll changes on extended runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetectable metallic core allows location with standard electronic pipe and cable locators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch width provides a clear, visible warning band when trench is opened\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1,000-foot roll length reduces splices on long runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYellow color and gas-line labeling conform to APWA color-code standards for fuel gas distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePassive protection requires no power source or maintenance after burial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style underground warning tape for use above buried residential and commercial gas piping systems in direct-bury trench applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGas fitters and utility contractors install this tape during the backfill phase of underground gas line work, typically placed 12 inches above the top of the pipe per common trench-marking guidelines, though local codes or the authority having jurisdiction may specify a different depth. Shut off and verify the line is depressurized before working in the trench area. Consult IFGC and local amendments for specific burial and marking requirements. Avoid stretching or tearing the tape during placement, as damage to the metallic core can reduce detectability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gas line underground warning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metallic core, electronically detectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 513306\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51396376658226,"sku":"513306","price":67.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312835092.jpg?v=1782830614","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ips-513306-detectable-warning-tape-gas-3-in-x-1000-ft","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
