Metallics DT3ER – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What color is the DT3ER underground warning tape and what utility does red mark?
DT3ER is red with a black legend. Red is the APWA uniform color code for electric power lines, conduit, and lighting cables, which is why this is the roll that goes over a buried electrical run.
2) Is this underground tape detectable by a locator, or is it just plastic marking tape?
It is detectable tape, not plain warning film. The DT3ER carries a metallic core laminated into the plastic so a standard utility locator can pick up the line from the surface after backfill. Plain non-detectable tape warns a crew that is already digging; detectable tape lets you trace the run before anybody puts a blade in the ground.
3) Does Metallics DT3ER detectable tape meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. DT3ER is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project has domestic-sourcing language in the spec, this roll will not satisfy it and you need a domestically manufactured detectable tape instead.
4) What size roll is the Metallics DT3ER detectable underground tape?
One roll of DT3ER runs 1000 feet long and 3 inches wide, and the roll weighs 7.12 lbs. Minimum order is 1 roll (each), so you can buy a single roll for a short run rather than a case.
5) Can I use Metallics DT3ER tape over plumbing or HVAC lines instead of electrical?
The tape itself is rated for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work, so the construction suits any of those trenches. But the legend is printed for the red color code, which means electrical. For a water, sewer, gas, or communications run you want the tape in that utility's color so a future crew reads the right hazard.
6) What is the part number to order Metallics red detectable underground tape?
The manufacturer part number is DT3ER from Metallics. It is a single-configuration item, so there are no finish, length, or color choices to specify beyond that number.
