BD Loops SC 84-50 6x36 Preformed 3/16" SawCut Loop
The BD Loops SC8450 is a 6x36 preformed saw-cut inductance loop with a 50ft lead-in, built with 16 AWG copper wire and rated for direct burial use.
Overview
The BD Loops SC8450 is a preformed saw-cut inductance loop featuring a fixed 6x36 loop size with a 50ft lead-in. Constructed with 16 AWG copper wire and rated for direct burial, it is designed for installations where a 3/16" or wider slot is cut into concrete or asphalt, filled with the loop wire, and sealed with loop sealant. A durable outer jacket protects and tightly binds both the loop and lead-in conductors.
Key Features
- Durable outer jacket provides an extra layer of protection for both the loop and lead-in.
- Built-in backer-rod — no separate backer-rod needed when installed in a 3/16" saw-cut groove.
- Lead-in wires are tightly bound in a protective outer jacket, eliminating the need for twisting.
- Both loop and lead-in fit into a 3/16" wide saw-cut groove — no double cutting the lead-in run.
- Loop fills a larger percentage of the groove, requiring 30–40% less sealant compared to a 1/4" wide groove.
- Each loop is tested 3 ways before leaving the factory.
- Cuts do not need to be exact — any BD Loop can be made up to 4' smaller for installation flexibility.
- Compatible with the BD-LS flat 3/16" sealant tip for a smooth, even seal in a single pass.
