3M 7000031679 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 3M Scotch Buried Barricade Tape 302 an adhesive tape or just a marker ribbon?
It's non-adhesive. Scotch Buried Barricade Tape 302 is a polyethylene film marker ribbon that gets laid in the trench above a utility run, not taped to anything. You unroll it over the backfill and cover it, so there's no liner to peel and no bonding surface to prep.
2) What does the 3M 302 red buried tape say, and is red the right color for electric?
The printed legend reads CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE, and the film is red, which is the APWA uniform color code for electric power lines, conduit and lighting cables. If you're marking gas, water, sewer or comms, you want a different color and legend, not this one.
3) Will this buried marker tape hold up to backfill and compaction without tearing?
The 302 film is 4 mil thick (0.1 mm) with a 23 kg tensile rating, so it takes normal shovel and backfill handling. It's a warning ribbon, not a detectable tape with a metallic core, so it won't respond to a locator wand. If your utility spec calls for locatable tape, you need a detectable foil-core product instead.
4) Does this 3M buried tape meet RoHS and any flammability standard for spec submittals?
Two specs are on record for the 302: RoHS 2011/65/EU compliance and UL 94 V-2 flammability classification. 3M also publishes an Article Information Sheet and a Regulatory Data Sheet for it, which is usually what an institutional or government submittal package wants attached.
5) What jobs is Scotch Buried Barricade Tape 302 normally used on?
It's used wherever a trench carries power and somebody will dig there again: commercial construction, utility distribution, irrigation runs and CATV. MRO and facility crews also stock it for site work on campuses and multi-family properties. Lay it directly over the conduit or duct bank during backfill so the next excavator hits the red ribbon before the cable.
6) What temperature range can the 3M 302 barricade tape be installed and used in?
Installation range runs 0 to 120 F (0 to 49 C), and the film's maximum operating temperature is 185 F (85 C). Below freezing the polyethylene gets stiff, so cold-weather crews should let rolls warm before unspooling.
7) What is the exact part number for the 3 inch red CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE Scotch tape?
The 3M manufacturer part number is 7000031679, Scotch Buried Barricade Tape 302, 3 in x 1000 ft, red, 8 rolls per case. Country of origin is China. Give that MPN when matching a bid line item, since the 302 family covers several legends and colors.
