3M 7000133186 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is 3M Scotch Buried Barricade Tape 368 adhesive, or does it just lay in the trench?
It's non-adhesive. The 368 buried barricade tape is a polyethylene film marker tape that lays loose in the trench above the line, not a wrapping or sealing tape. You backfill over it so anyone excavating later hits the red warning layer before the cable.
2) What warning does the red 3M 368 buried tape actually print, and does the color match electric utility marking?
The legend reads CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW, printed on red film. Red is the standard utility color for electric power lines and conduit, so it matches what a locate crew expects to find over energized runs.
3) How much trench does one case of 3M 7000133186 cover?
Each case holds 4 rolls of 1000 ft, so 4000 linear feet of trench per case. The tape is 6 in wide, which is the width most utility and municipal specs call for over primary electric runs.
4) Is 4 mil detectable tape or just a visual warning?
The 368 is a plain 4 mil (0.1 mm) polyethylene film, 6 in wide. It's a visual warning layer only. If your spec calls for a line that can be picked up with a locator after backfill, you need a detectable tape with a metallic foil core instead, or a separate tracer wire run with the conduit.
5) What temperature range can this buried warning tape be installed and left in?
Rated for 0 to 120 degrees F (0 to 49 degrees C). That covers most backfill conditions, but on a hard winter job below freezing the film is outside its stated range when you're pulling and laying it.
6) Does 3M 368 barricade tape meet RoHS for a government or institutional spec?
It's compliant with RoHS 2011/65/EU. For submittal packages, 3M also publishes an article information sheet and a regulatory data sheet for this item that you can pull for the file.
7) Can I buy less than a full case of the 6 in red buried electric tape?
The 7000133186 is packed and sold as a 4 roll case. There's one configuration under that part number: 6 in x 1000 ft, red, CAUTION BURIED ELECTRIC LINE BELOW. If you need a different legend (water, gas, communications) or a different width, that's a separate 368 part number.
8) What kind of jobs is this 368 buried tape meant for?
3M lists it for construction, irrigation, utility and CATV work, and it's carried as a commercial construction and general industrial/MRO item. In practice it goes over direct-buried cable, duct bank, and conduit runs on site work where a future excavator needs a warning before the shovel finds the line.
