18′ and 20′ Perimeter Loop Design Improved
All 18' perimeter loops are now made with 4 conductor wire. This improvement increases the total inductance of the loop and will allow these smaller loops to perform even better. All 20' perimeter loops are in the process of being changed to 4 conductor wire. Expect these loops to be [...]
How Does BD-LG Stack Up Against The Competition
Loop Goop is a durable polyurethane sealant used to protect vehicle detection loops. What makes it unique is it’s angled applicator tip. The unique design allows the installer to fill the loop saw cut from the bottom up, eliminating air pockets. […]
The Importance of Tinning and Soldering Loop Lead-Ins
Tinning, or coating with solder, your loop lead-ins has many benefits and only takes a few minutes. Tinning stranded wire lead-ins prevents corrosion and oxidation, as well as it makes it much more difficult for your wire to pull out of screw down terminals. […]
Is Your Blade Width Causing Loop Failures
Did you know that air pockets in your finished loop sealant combined with ground vibration, can cause false detections? A saw cut width of 3/16″ is always recommended to allow enough room for the epoxy loop sealant to fully encapsulate the loop wire. […]
Sealant Comparison
The flat sealant tip included with BD Loops BD-LG, Loop Goop allows installers to seal the loop in one pass, from the bottom up. Pointed tip applicators fill the groove from the top down and require multiple passes to seal the groove. […]
Price Change Notifcation
BD Loops were able to keep their prices the same for the last two years, but due to increases in material costs and some exciting improvements in their loop design, an approximate 3% price increase will become effective February 8th, 2016.
Is It OK to Wrap Loops Through PVC
Typical pre-formed vehicle detection loops wrapped in PVC conduit have air pockets built-in to their design. Vibrations in the ground can cause the loop wire inside to move, causing false detections, and repeat service calls. BD Loops are fully encapsulated for superior performance! […]
