National Loop Co. 26' (4' X 9') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 13' Wide Driveways - E-NL13-18-200

Made for new paving projects, the National Loop Co. 26' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop that installs flat on the graded sub-base. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. Crews place the loop on the prepared sub-base before paving, and the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface locks it in place. Its 9' side spans the travel lane while the 4' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to single-car driveways with a walkway beside them and rural homes with truck access.

Features:

• 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
• Arrives fully assembled and ready to install under new asphalt, concrete, or gravel
• Factory-set turn count means optimal read range without any on-site adjustment
