• Extra layer of protection—Thick and durable outer jacket protects both loop and lead-in.
• Each loop is tested 3 ways before it leaves the factory.
• Backer-rod is built into the wire! No need to use backer-rod if the loop is installed in a 3/16” saw-cut groove.
• Lead-in wires are tightly bound in an protective outer jacket. Eliminating the need for twisting.
• Both loop and lead-in fit into a 3/16” wide saw-cut groove. No more double cutting the lead-in run!
• Loop fills up a larger percentage of the saw-cut groove, requires less loop sealant to seal the groove. (30-40% less sealant vs a 1/4” wide groove)
• Cuts don’t need to be exact! Any BD Loop can be made up to 4’ smaller. Be slightly conservative with your cuts and BD Loops Preformed Saw-Cut Loops will fit every time.
• Use the BD-LS flat 3/16″ sealant tip and seal the loop in just 1 pass. No more waiting around for the sealant to seep in and top off gaps. Make an attractive smooth and even seal.
