Why it works
Why lay this warning tape
Highly visible
Bright red film with bold black print stands out clearly once a trench is opened, giving diggers an immediate warning.
Clear main identification
Printed CAUTION FIRE MAIN BELOW along the full length leaves no doubt about what lies beneath.
Colour-coded for the route
Red marks this tape out from our other underground warning tape colours, so crews can identify the service at a glance.
Full-length roll
Each roll runs 365m, enough to mark a long fire main route without joining multiple rolls together.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a trace wire built into this tape for locating later?
Is there a trace wire built into this tape for locating later?
No - this is a printed-only warning tape with no metal trace wire, so a cable or pipe locator will not pick it up. If you need a detectable tape, ask us about our detectable underground tape range.
How far above the pipe should this be laid?
How far above the pipe should this be laid?
Set it into the backfill above the fire main, beneath the finished surface, so it's the first thing exposed if the ground is dug up again. Match your project's or the water/fire authority's own burial depth requirement.
Why red, and does it always mean fire main?
Why red, and does it always mean fire main?
Red is the colour printed on this particular roll to flag a fire main route. We stock the same tape printed for other services in their own colours and wording, so check the roll matches the service you're marking.
Does one roll cover a typical fire main run?
Does one roll cover a typical fire main run?
Each roll is 365m, which covers most fire main installations in a single length without needing to join rolls.
What's the tape actually made of?
What's the tape actually made of?
LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film, printed rather than woven, at 30 microns thick.
Can this tape be lifted and reused on another job?
Can this tape be lifted and reused on another job?
No - it's designed to go into the ground once during backfill and stay there as a permanent underground marker.
Will the wording still be readable if it's dug up years later?
Will the wording still be readable if it's dug up years later?
Yes. The warning text is printed into the tape itself rather than a stick-on label, so it stays legible even after years underground.
