Red above. Fire main below.
Red film and a repeated black warning make the buried fire-water service easy to recognise when excavation reaches the tape.
Once the trench closes, the fire main disappears from view. Leave a red warning above it for the next crew to find. Choose DIGSAFE® Mains Marker — Fire where the project calls for a non-detectable visual warning above a buried fire-water service. Red virgin-grade PE film carries a repeated black fire warning. Lead-free pigments and stated soil tolerance suit burial; the tape warns when exposed, but does not create a traceable path.

Features
Built for life in the soil
Virgin-grade polyethylene, lead-free pigments and a stated pH range of 2.5–11.0 give you clear material details to check against the job.
Warning, without pretending to locate
The tape gives a visual warning when uncovered; it does not add a conductor for electronic tracing.
