Answer This Question

Should this lay directly on top of the gas tubing, or should there be a layer of dirt between the two?

Answer This Question

Hello, Please refer to third paragraph in section 4.2 Trenching of the installation manual to see the instructions about using tracer wire https://ipexna.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/install-guide-manual-usen-ipex-homeflex-underground.pdf You can place the tracer wire right on top / next to the PE pipe. You do not have to keep a layer of dirt between the two. However, please refer to your local building codes to see if there are any specific instructions on this.

    Answer This Question

    Hi, Todd - Tracer wire goes in the trench on top of the PE pipe and is secured above ground next to the entrance and/or exit points of the gas line. It can be electrically traced with a meter to inform an equipment operator the path of the gas line so it can be avoided. It's a very important component of a safe installation.

        I have never before purchased wire this yellow. It is just as yellow as you might expect from the pictures! And continuity - it has it in spades! It's almost a shame to bury it in the ground... but code says I must, so I will.

          This wire was exactly what I was looking for. The right gauge wire for testing and a very durable yellow plastic coating. Held up well during the install and seems likely to last years. Would definitely buy again.

            Once I got it it worked great. Had to wait 3 weeks for it. Supposedly the supplier screwed up and didn’t send it. Cost me an additional $85 because I had to call for the inspector to come out again. All due to the wire being late
