Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 78-008 Green Stake Flags

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE ELECTRIC TOOL CORP 78-008 is a green stake flag used to mark underground utilities, survey lines, hazard zones, and work area boundaries. Each flag measures 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall and mounts on a wire stake for quick, visible ground marking. These flags are a standard tool on job sites where technicians, contractors, and utility locators need to identify buried lines or delineate work zones before excavation or service work begins. The package contains 5 flags and the unit weighs 10.3 pounds.

Green stake flags are commonly used to mark natural gas lines and other underground utilities in accordance with color-coded marking standards followed by locating crews and field technicians. They are suited for residential and commercial job sites, road and utility construction projects, and any application where temporary, high-visibility ground marking is required. Installers across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contracting trades rely on stake flags to communicate line locations before digging.

Installation Notes

Stake flags are installed by hand by pressing the wire stake firmly into the ground at the desired marking point.

Flags should be removed and disposed of responsibly once the marked work is complete.
