L H Dottie Co UT11D Underground Warning Tape 3 in X 1000 Ft

Product Description

The L H Dottie CO UT11D is a yellow underground warning tape used to mark buried utility lines and alert excavators to the presence of underground infrastructure. At 3 inches wide and 1000 feet in length, this tape provides long runs of continuous coverage for trench marking applications. It is installed during backfill operations, placed above buried conduit, piping, or cabling to serve as a visual and physical warning layer. Electricians, plumbers, and utility contractors rely on this type of tape as a standard protective measure during underground installation work.

This warning tape is suited for residential and commercial underground utility installations where local codes or best practices require burial marking. Common applications include marking below-grade electrical conduit runs, water and sewer lines, gas piping, and telecommunications cabling. The yellow color is the conventional designation for gas and oil utility lines, though application varies by regional convention and contractor preference.

Installation Notes

Underground warning tape is typically installed by licensed electricians, plumbers, or utility contractors during the backfill stage of a trench excavation. The tape is laid horizontally in the trench above the buried utility at the depth specified by local code or project requirements. Always verify local jurisdiction requirements for burial depth and tape placement before installation. Follow applicable code standards such as the NEC, IFGC, or IPC as relevant to the utility being marked.
