BD Loops installation instructions for 3/16 Saw-Cut
using TB-1 Template Block Kit

Template block kit is designed to be used with any size BD Loops 3/16 Saw-Cut preformed loops.

Step#1: Place saw-cut yoke (where the loop meets the lead-in) into the #1 block red side down with a 1 to 11/4 inch space from top of the block to split of yoke.

Step 1

Step #2: Position the #1 block where the loop yoke will be installed. Use the supplied 1/8 inch masonry drill bit to drill a hole (through
previously drilled guide hole on the block) into the roadway surface. Drill a second hole to align the #1 block to form a 90° corner.
Insert “T” bar into the holes.

Step 2

Step #3: Measure and mark the short leg of the loop. Ensure the loop wire has no twists then insert the wire into the #2 block with the mark centered on the arrow.

Step 3

Step #4: Align block #2 with #1. Pull block #2 tight, drill a hole, then insert “T” bar to hold block #2 in place.

Step 4

Step#5: Ensure the loop wire has no twists, then find, align, and insert the red mark (already placed at the factory) into the arrow of block #3. Align block #3 with #2. Pull block #3 tight, drill a hole, then insert “T” bar to hold block #3 in place.

Step 5

Step #6: Pull the last corner of the loop with your finger to make a 90° angle and make a mark on the loop. Align and insert the mark into the arrow of block #4. Align so the wire is tight, drill a hole, and insert “T” bar to hold block #4 in place.

Step 6

Step #7: Use supplied soap stone to mark 45° dog ear corners on blocks #2, #3, and #4.

Step 7

Step #8:  Remove “T” pins from the ground. Use the modified Chalk line to mark the loop pattern by inserting the chalk line’s “T” pin into the holes drilled in the previous steps. Align the string over the corner hole and snap all four sides.

Step 8

Step #9: Mark the lead-in pattern by inserting the chalk line’s “T” pin into block #1’s hole and snap a line leading back to the operator. (Lead-in path varies by job).

Step 09

Step #10: Protect the chalk lines made by spraying a clear coat or matte spray over the lines. This will protect the pattern from water (often used with a saw-cut machine) and wind. To complete the installation follow the instructions supplied with the loop.
