FAQs
What is this detectable tape used for?
This detectable tape is specifically designed to be buried underground above recycled water pipes. Its primary purpose is to clearly mark the presence and location of these mains, preventing accidental damage during future excavation work and enhancing safety.
How does the "detectable" feature work?
The tape incorporates a stainless steel tracer wire embedded within its polyethylene structure. This wire allows the tape, and consequently the pipe below it, to be accurately located by standard underground service locators, even when buried deep.
What colour and text does the tape feature?
In Australia, recycled water mains are typically identified by lilac/purple markings. This tape features a vibrant lilac/purple colour with prominent, repeating "RECYCLED WATER" or "RECLAIMED RECYCLED WATERLINE DO NOT DRINK" text to ensure clear and unambiguous identification.
Is this tape durable enough for underground use?
Yes, the tape is manufactured from high-quality, virgin-grade polyethylene, making it resistant to soil pressure, moisture, chemicals, and rotting. This ensures its integrity and visibility for many years after installation.
Does this product comply with Australian Standards?
Yes, this detectable mains marker tape is manufactured to comply with Australian Standards AS/NZS 2648.1:1995, which specifies requirements for underground marker tapes.
