BD Loops Loop, Sawcut 6 x 20 w/ 50ft lead

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

The loop detects moving metal objects and works with a detector module to ignore stationary metal such as rebar, manhole covers, and metal drains, helping prevent false detections. Detection height is roughly two-thirds of the short leg of the loop (for example, a 6' short leg yields approximately 48" of detection height). The factory-set red mark and pre-cut dog-ear corners simplify alignment and reduce stress on the wire.

It is well suited for gate and access-control as well as garage-door applications, including indoor parking garages where shallower saw-cut depths can be used. This unit ships with a 50ft lead-in run and is designed to be installed using a 3/16" or 1/4" saw-cut blade.

• Saw-cut style preformed loop for existing concrete or asphalt; not for direct burial
• Includes a 50ft lead-in run
• Recommended groove depth of 1 1/4"–1 1/2" (as shallow as 3/4" for indoor parking garages)
• Factory-marked red alignment point and pre-formed 45° dog-ear corners (5 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 7 3/4")
• V-cut yoke design fully encapsulated in sealant for added protection
• Loop size can be adjusted up to 4' smaller by pulling excess into the lead-in run
• Detects moving metal while ignoring stationary metal to avoid false detections
