Description
Preformed 3/16" Saw-Cut Loops by BD Loops
BD Loops Preformed 3/16" Saw-Cut Loops are engineered to deliver reliable vehicle detection performance while significantly reducing installation time, labor costs, and sealant usage. Available from GatePoint Solutions, these factory-built induction loops are specifically designed for saw-cut installations in concrete and asphalt surfaces where a 3/16-inch groove is used for vehicle detection systems.
Manufactured by BD Loops, a trusted leader in vehicle detection technology, these preformed saw-cut loops feature solid 16 AWG copper conductors enclosed within a durable protective outer jacket that safeguards both the loop and lead-in from moisture, vibration, abrasion, and environmental wear. Unlike traditional field-built loops, each BD Loops Saw-Cut Loop arrives preassembled, pretested, and ready for installation, helping eliminate wiring errors and reducing installation time on the jobsite.
Designed to fit directly into a standard 3/16-inch saw-cut groove, both the loop and lead-in occupy the same channel, eliminating the need for additional lead-in cuts. The loop's integrated backer-rod construction also reduces installation materials and simplifies the sealing process. Because the loop occupies more of the groove, installers can use significantly less sealant while achieving a cleaner, more professional finished appearance.
Ideal for automatic gates, parking facilities, traffic control systems, barrier arm gates, commercial access control applications, and industrial vehicle detection systems, BD Loops Preformed 3/16" Saw-Cut Loops provide dependable detection performance while helping contractors complete installations faster and more efficiently.
Whether you're installing a new vehicle detection system or replacing an existing loop, BD Loops Saw-Cut Loops deliver the durability, accuracy, and installation convenience trusted by gate professionals nationwide.
