National Loop Co. 16' (2' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 8' Wide Driveways - X-NL08-14-150

Built for sites where saw-cutting is not an option, the National Loop Co. 16' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In is a preformed 14 AWG loop encased in liquid-tight conduit. 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. Since the conduit protects the wire, the loop sits directly on the sub-base and gets buried under the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface. Its 6' side spans the travel lane while the 2' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 1' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• More cost-effective than hand-wound loop installations
