National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - E-NL17-18-125

Skip the slot cutting entirely: the National Loop Co. 34' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In lays on the sub-base and gets paved over with the new surface. 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. Installation is a lay-and-pave job: set the loop on the graded sub-base, run the lead-in to the detector, and let the paving crew cover it. With the 12' side crossing the lane and about 2' 6" of clearance per edge, and the 5' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits 2-car drives in newer subdivisions and homes with boat or trailer parking.

Features:

• 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
• Arrives fully assembled and ready to install under new asphalt, concrete, or gravel
