Metallics DT2ER – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is red the right color of underground marking tape for electrical lines?
Yes. Red is the color used for electric power lines, conduit, and lighting cables, which is why the DT2ER is run red. If you are trenching gas, water, sewer, or communications in the same project, those use different colors and this roll is not the one for them.
2) How do you install underground warning tape over a buried conduit run?
Warning tape like the 2 inch red DT2ER is laid in the trench above the conduit or direct-burial cable, not against it, so a backhoe or shovel hits the tape before it hits the circuit. Typical practice is to lay it flat and centered over the run during backfill, well above the duct bank, then continue filling. Keep it continuous along the whole run and overlap the ends where rolls meet.
3) Do I need to order anything else to use the DT2ER marking tape?
No accessories are required. The 1000 foot roll of 2 inch red tape goes straight into the trench during backfill, with nothing to fasten or splice. Order one roll per 1000 feet of run and a spare if you are marking multiple laterals off the same trench.
4) What is the manufacturer part number for the Metallics red underground electrical tape?
Order it as Metallics DT2ER. That part number is the 2 inch by 1000 foot red underground electrical warning tape, and it is the only configuration the DT2ER designation covers, so there is no size or length option to specify.
