Metallics BT6GL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the BT6GL tape detectable with a locator, or do I need detectable tape?
It is non-detectable tape, meaning there is no metallic foil core for a line locator to pick up. It works as a visual warning to anyone excavating over the line, but it will not let a locator trace the gas line from the surface. If your utility or jurisdiction requires the buried line to be traceable, you need a detectable (foil-core) marking tape or a separate tracer wire instead.
2) Which utility is the Metallics BT6GL tape printed for?
Gas. The BT6GL is the gas-line version, so it should be laid over buried gas piping only. Using gas-printed tape over water, sewer, or electrical runs mislabels the trench for the next crew that opens it, so order the tape printed for the utility you are actually burying.
3) Do I need anything else with this tape to make a gas line traceable?
Yes, if traceability matters. Because the BT6GL carries no metallic layer, pair it with tracer wire if the installation has to be located electronically after backfill. The tape handles the warning function; the wire handles the locating function.
4) Where in the trench does 6 inch gas warning tape go?
Marking tape like the BT6GL is laid flat in the trench above the gas line during backfill, not against the pipe, so that anyone digging later hits the printed 6 inch band before reaching the pipe. The 6 inch width is the wider of the common sizes and is the easier one to spot in a machine-dug trench. Burial depth above the line is set by your utility or local code, not by the tape.
