The loop section is solid 16 AWG copper wire with PE insulation inside a doped PVC outer jacket, with 2 to 4 turns depending on loop and lead-in size. It goes under concrete, asphalt or pavers, or in gravel and dirt roads, for vehicle detection at gates and doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe solid wire holds its shape, so in a concrete pour the loop stays on top of the rebar. The lead-in conductors are bound inside the jacket, so there is no twisting. A flex yoke with a 1\/2 in coupler accepts PVC conduit for the lead-in run. There is no air pocket around the wire as with a loop pulled through PVC pipe, which cuts down on false detections from ground vibration. Each loop is tested 3 ways at the factory. The wire is rated for direct burial, 600 V and 167°F (75°C).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne BD Loops EL 24-100 preformed direct burial loop, 24 ft perimeter, with 100 ft lead-in attached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable ties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround stakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-in labels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBefore You Order\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcrete: set the loop on top of the rebar or wire mesh, never below, offset from the pattern, and tie it down.

Under asphalt, keep at least 1\/8 in of sand between the loop and the hot asphalt. Gravel: bury it 7 to 10 in deep. BD Loops lists 14 in as the maximum depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose the size by the area to cover (4 ft x 8 ft or 6 ft x 6 ft).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 100 ft lead-in must reach the loop detector without a splice.
