Metallics DT6SL 6 x 1000' Detectable -Sewer Li

Yes. The DT6SL is a detectable tape, meaning it carries a metallic core that a standard pipe and cable locator or metal detector will read through backfill. That is the difference between it and plain non-detectable warning tape, which can only be found by digging down to it.

Use the DT6SL where the buried utility is a sewer or sanitary line, since the tape is printed as sewer line marking tape. Water, gas, electrical and communication runs each take their own legend and color under standard utility marking practice, so don't substitute the sewer tape over a different service.

Detectable tape like the DT6SL goes in the backfill above the pipe, not against it, typically partway up the trench so an excavator's bucket reaches the tape before it reaches the line. Lay it flat and centered over the run with the printed face up so the legend reads when it is uncovered. A 1000 foot roll handles a full run without splicing on most laterals.

Order it as Metallics DT6SL. That one part number covers the 6 inch by 1000 foot detectable sewer line tape, and it is the only configuration offered under it, so there is no width or length option to specify.
