BD Loops Loop, Sawcut 6 x 10 w/ 50 ft lead

This is a preformed saw-cut style vehicle detection loop from BD Loops Inc, designed for installation in existing concrete or asphalt surfaces. A groove is cut into the surface, the loop is inserted, and the groove is then sealed with loop sealant. It is not intended for direct burial applications such as concrete pours, gravel or dirt roads, or installation beneath pavers.

The loop detects moving metal objects to trigger gate and door access-control systems, with stationary metal such as rebar, manhole covers, and drains accounted for by the detector module to avoid false detections. It features a factory-applied red alignment mark and a V-cut yoke area where the loop meets the lead-in, which is fully encapsulated in sealant for added protection. This unit is a 6 x 10 loop with a 50 ft lead-in.

Typical use cases include vehicle detection at gates and garage doors, following recommended layout guidelines such as 4' standoff from the gate or door, 0–2' from each curb, and 4' from every other loop. Detection height is roughly two-thirds of the loop's short leg.

• Preformed 3/16" saw-cut loop for existing concrete or asphalt (not for direct burial)
• Loop size 6 x 10 with a 50 ft lead-in (SKU SC-32-50)
• Recommended groove depth of 1¼"–1½" (as shallow as ¾" for indoor parking garages)
• 45° dog-ear corner cuts (5½" x 5½" x 7¾") reduce wire stress and help prevent loop failure
• V-cut yoke (1½" wide, 8"–10" long) fully encapsulated in sealant for a watertight seal
• Factory red alignment mark for correct placement opposite the yoke/lead-in
• Loop can be sized down up to 4' by pulling excess into the lead-in run—never stretch to fit
