Ideal Industries 42-102 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Ideal 42-102 caution tape detectable by a locator, or does it need a tracer wire?
The 42-102 is non-detect tape. It carries no metallic foil core, so a pipe and cable locator won't pick it up. It works as a visual warning to an excavator who digs down to it. If the crew needs to locate the run electronically from the surface, you need detectable tape with a metal core or a separate tracer wire alongside the conduit.
2) What does the Ideal underground caution tape say on it, and what color is it?
It prints "Caution Electric Line Buried" on high visibility yellow. Yellow is the wrong color for water, sewer, or gas runs, so use this roll only over electrical conduit and duct bank. The text is repeated along the length so an excavator reads the warning wherever the bucket breaks through.
3) Will buried caution tape break down in the soil before anyone digs there again?
The tape is formulated to resist degradation from the acid and alkali found in soils, which is what kills untreated plastic film in a backfilled trench. That is the property that matters for a marker meant to sit undisturbed for years and still be legible and intact when the next crew opens the ground.
4) Is this caution tape lead-free for use on public and institutional jobs?
Yes. The 42-102 uses lead-free pigments and organic lead-free ink. That matters on municipal work, school and healthcare campuses, and any site with environmental restrictions on materials left permanently in the ground, since the tape stays buried for the life of the installation.
5) What is the Ideal part number for the 3 inch yellow electric line buried tape?
Ideal Industries model 42-102. That single number covers the 3 inch by 1,000 foot yellow non-detect roll printed "Caution Electric Line Buried" - there are no size or color options under it, so the part number alone specifies the roll.
