Metallics BT3SL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Metallics BT3SL underground marking tape detectable by a cable locator?
No. The BT3SL is a non-detectable tape, meaning there is no metallic foil core in it, so a magnetic or inductive locator will not pick it up after burial. It works purely as a visual warning when a crew opens the trench. If you need the buried run to be traceable from the surface with a locator, you need a detectable (foil-backed) marking tape instead, not this one.
2) What kind of buried line is this Metallics tape meant to mark?
It is a sewer line warning tape, laid in the trench above the pipe so anyone excavating later sees it before reaching the line. Metallics catalogs it with its electrical supplies, but the marking itself calls out sewer, so don't use it over a buried electrical, gas, or water run where a color-coded warning tape for that utility is required.
3) What size roll is the Metallics BT3SL sewer marking tape?
Each BT3SL roll is specified as 3 x 1,000', so you get a 1,000 foot run per roll. For long laterals or mains, count your total trench footage and divide by 1,000 to get roll quantity, and allow for overlap where you splice between rolls.
4) What part number do I order for Metallics non-detectable sewer tape?
The manufacturer part number is BT3SL, from Metallics. That is the single model on the item, so there are no finish or length options to specify beyond the 3 x 1,000' roll.
