Brady Underground Warning Tape 91298
Brady 91298 is a polyethylene underground warning tape designed to mark buried water lines. The blue tape features a black printed legend reading "Caution Buried Water Line Below" for clear identification. It is intended for utility contractors and municipal workers installing or maintaining water infrastructure.
Polyethylene tape limits for direct burial
The 4 mil thickness provides a visual barrier but offers no structural protection for the pipe itself. Polyethylene degrades under prolonged UV exposure so the tape must be covered promptly after placement. The legend is printed in black on blue which may fade in highly alkaline or acidic soils over time.
Installation notes for 1000 ft roll
The 6 inch width allows the tape to be unrolled directly into the trench above the pipe with minimal handling. A common issue is insufficient backfill cover which leaves the tape exposed to sunlight and mechanical damage during subsequent digging. Ensure the legend faces upward during placement for readability.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 1000ft roll or a shorter length for marking buried water lines?
The 1000ft roll provides continuous coverage for long trench runs; choose a shorter roll only if the total trench distance is much less.
What does the 4 mil thickness mean when the tape is buried?
At 4 mil the polyethylene resists tearing during backfill and stays legible for years in soil.
How does the 6in width work with standard trenching equipment?
The 6in width is wide enough to be seen clearly in an open trench and fits common trencher buckets.
