National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - E-NL8.5-18-225

Preformed and pave-ready, the National Loop Co. 17' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop for direct burial under asphalt, concrete, or gravel. Working through a compatible loop detector, it detects the metal mass of vehicles above, satisfying the non-contact detection that UL 325 lists as one of its two required means of entrapment protection. Because it ships encased in heavy-duty, liquid-tight conduit, the loop lays directly on the graded sub-base and is then paved over under fresh asphalt, concrete, or gravel. The 6' side covers the travel lane with roughly 1' 3" of clearance on each side, and the 2.5' side reads vehicles as they roll through, making it a fit for older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

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
