Overview

Ensure the safety and compliance of your underground utility installations with the NSi Industries DT6ER Detectable Underground Tape. This robust 6-inch wide tape, supplied in a 1000-foot roll, is specifically engineered for the critical task of marking buried electrical lines. Featuring a bright red base with a bold black 'Caution Buried Electrical Line Below' legend, this tape offers exceptional visibility, even in challenging soil conditions. The DT6ER is constructed from a 4 mil overall thickness, inert 100 percent virgin low-density polyethylene plastic film, formulated for superior underground use. This material composition makes it impervious to common soil components such as alkalines and acids, ensuring long-term integrity and preventing degradation. The environmentally safe ink used for the legend is encased to prevent rub-off, maintaining clear identification over time. While this specific model (DT6ER) is designed for general underground line marking, NSi Industries also offers a ULTD series with a 5 mil thickness and a solid aluminum foil core for enhanced detectability by electronic locating equipment. The DT6ER, however, provides a clear visual and tactile warning for excavation crews. Its 1000-foot length offers ample coverage for extensive projects, making it an economical choice for utility companies, contractors, and construction professionals. By clearly identifying the presence of buried electrical lines, this tape significantly reduces the risk of accidental damage, costly repairs, and potentially dangerous incidents during digging and excavation. The DT6ER meets industry standards for underground utility marking, providing a reliable and essential layer of protection for both personnel and infrastructure. Its durable construction and clear messaging make it a dependable solution for safeguarding your buried assets. Manufactured in the USA, the NSi Industries DT6ER is a testament to quality and reliability in underground safety marking.
