National Loop Co. 44' (6' X 16') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 22' Wide Driveways - E-NL22-18

Made for new paving projects, the National Loop Co. 44' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop that installs flat on the graded sub-base. Paired with a compatible loop detector, it senses the metal mass of a passing car or truck and signals the gate operator to open, hold, or reverse, providing one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for automated gates. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. Its 16' side spans the travel lane while the 6' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 3' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to estate homes and small HOA or church parking lot entries.

Features:

• Fully assembled at the factory, so there is nothing to wind, count, or connect before paving
• Predetermined number of turns removes the guesswork of achieving optimal read range
• Saves labor cost compared with winding a loop by hand in the field
• Provides the non-contact vehicle detection UL 325 gate systems count toward their two required means of entrapment protection
• Works wherever vehicles need detecting: automatic gates, parking barriers, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
• One continuous, non-spliced wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
• Liquid-tight conduit stands between the wire and sharp stones, chemicals, ground movement, and harsh weather
