The same careful attention to proper installation guidelines described for saw cut loops also apply to the installation of 

 

  DoorKing 4 ft x 8 ft preformed loops.

 

 

Preformed loops should be imbedded 2 to 3 inches below the surface of the poured concrete pavement.

 

 

If installed with asphalt pavement, cover the loop with 1-inch minimum of soil or sand to protect the loop from hot asphalt.

Wire mesh or reinforcement in concrete should be cut away a minimum of 6 inches from the perimeter of the loop.

DoorKing Preformed Loop Guidelines

Reinforcement wires, rebar and electrical wires 
running at angles to the loop have less effect on the 
loop than those running parallel to the loop wires.
