- Works best with 3/16" saw-cut blade or wider ¼” blade width. Learn about air pockets and other issues caused by 1/8” grooves.
- Use the Saw-Cut Layout Kit to quickly lay out the cutting pattern.
- Use a loop sealant NOT A CRACK FILLER to seal the groove.
- Loop should be installed black side up
- to ensure phasing direction matches. Due to the wire’s wedge shape
- it is also easier to push the loop in with the black side up.
- (Red always down)
- Use a “V-Cut” for the yoke to simplify your installation. Learn more here!
- Align loop over saw-cut groove before
- insertion into the groove will prevent having to pull up and
- realign a “tight-fitting” loop.
- Sprinkling sand over the sealant will create a barrier between the sealant and car ties and allow you to open the lane quicker. We have a complete article about installation tips and tricks for saw-cut loops here.

Loop Size Chart |
- Extra layer of protection—Thick and durable outer jacket protects both loop and lead-in.
- Each loop is tested 3 ways before it leaves the factory.
- Backer-rod is built into the wire! No need to use backer-rod if the loop is installed in a 3/16” saw-cut groove.
- Lead-in wires are tightly bound in an protective outer jacket. Eliminating the need for twisting.
- Both loop and lead-in fit into a 3/16” wide saw-cut groove. No more double cutting the lead-in run!
- Loop fills up a larger percentage of the saw-cut groove, requires less loop sealant to seal the groove. (30-40% less sealant vs a 1/4” wide groove)
- Cuts don’t need to be exact! Any BD Loop can be made up to 4’ smaller. Be slightly conservative with your cuts and BD Loops Preformed Saw-Cut Loops will fit every time.
- Use the BD-LS flat 3/16″ sealant tip and seal the loop in just 1 pass. No more waiting around for the sealant to seep in and top off gaps. Make an attractive smooth and even seal.
