Metallics CT3CY Caution Barricade Tape YELLOW 3"x1000ft

The CT3CY roll runs 1000 feet long and 3 inches wide, so one roll covers a long perimeter without splicing. Roll weight is 2.47 lbs, light enough to carry on a belt or toss in a gang box.

Yellow tape with a black legend reading CAUTION. That is the standard combination crews expect for a general hazard or work-area warning rather than a danger or buried-utility marker.

No. The CT3CY is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. For a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements, this roll will not satisfy the spec.

Both run 3 inches wide by 1000 feet. The Metallics CT3CY is a yellow plastic barricade tape with a black legend, meant to be strung as a visual caution barrier above ground. The 3M Scotch 407 is a detectable buried barricade tape in orange, printed for fiber optic caution, so it is laid in the trench over buried line and found later with a locator. If the run is being backfilled, the 407 is the one that does that job; for cordoning off a work area, the CT3CY is the plastic tape.

Single rolls are fine. The order minimum is 1 each, so a property manager topping up one truck buys one roll, and a GC standardizing across crews can order as many as needed.

Yes. The Metallics CT3CY is 3 inches wide and 1000 feet long, and the 3M Scotch 407 is also supplied 3 in x 1000 ft, so both take the same roll handling. The difference is in use and color: CT3CY is yellow with a black legend, the 407 is orange and printed as fiber optic caution.

The Metallics CT3CY caution barricade tape is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin given as multiple. If a federally funded job requires domestic sourcing, confirm compliance on the alternate before substituting; the 3M Scotch 407 detectable buried barricade tape is a different product class in any case, built for burial over utility runs rather than for above-ground cordoning.

Metallics lists it for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades. In practice that covers panel work, open trenches, ceiling work overhead, mechanical room lockouts, and any area a contractor or facility crew needs to keep foot traffic out of.

Yes, the printing is English language, black legend on yellow. Worth knowing if you need bilingual signage on site, because this roll is English only.
