BD Loops Sawcut Loop 6 x 12 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 the installation is then sealed with loop sealant. This product is not intended for direct burial applications such as concrete pours, gravel or dirt roads, or installation under 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 2/3 of the loop's short leg (for example, a 6' short leg provides approximately 48" of detection height).

The factory-formed corners feature 45° dog-ear cuts to relieve stress on the wire and help prevent loop failure from sharp bends. The design also allows the loop to be adjusted to fit, with excess taken up into the lead-in run, so cuts do not have to be exact.

• Preformed 3/16" saw-cut loop for existing concrete or asphalt; not for direct burial
• Includes a 50 ft lead-in run
• Install with a 3/16" or 1/4" saw-cut blade; groove depth 1 1/4"–1 1/2" (as shallow as 3/4" for indoor parking garages)
• 45° dog-ear corner cuts (5 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 7 3/4") reduce wire stress and prevent failure
• V-cut yoke area (1 1/2" wide, 8"–10" long) fully encapsulated in sealant for added protection
• Loop can be made up to 4' smaller by pulling excess into the lead-in run—no stretching required
• Detects moving metal objects while ignoring stationary metal such as rebar and manhole covers
