BD Loops Loop, Sawcut 6 x 16 w/ 50 ft lead

This is a preformed saw-cut style vehicle detection loop from BD Loops, designed for installation in existing concrete or asphalt. A groove is cut into the surface, the loop is inserted into the groove, and 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 works with a detector module to sense moving metal objects, making it suitable for gate and garage door access-control applications. Stationary metal such as rebar, manhole covers, and metal drains is accounted for by the detector and will not cause false detections. Detection height is roughly two-thirds the short leg of the loop. This unit comes with a 50 ft lead-in run and is built with factory-marked reference points and 45° dog-ear corners to prevent excessive stress on the wire.

It is ideal for gate, swing gate, and parking garage installations where vehicle detection is needed. The loop can be installed up to 4 ft smaller than marked by pulling excess into the lead-in run, allowing flexible fitment. Always thoroughly test the loop system to confirm it meets your detection objectives.

• Preformed 3/16" saw-cut loop for existing concrete or asphalt (not for direct burial)
• Includes a 50 ft lead-in run
• Factory red mark for alignment opposite the yoke/lead-in run
• 45° dog-ear corners (5½" x 5½" x 7¾") reduce wire stress and help prevent loop failure
• Recommended groove depth of 1¼"–1½" (as shallow as ¾" for indoor parking garages)
• Detects moving metal objects while ignoring stationary metal such as rebar and manhole covers
• Loop can be adjusted up to 4 ft smaller by pulling excess into the lead-in run
