Locating, Inspecting, & Fault Finding Utilities Equipment for Electric, Gas, Water, Sewer, and Data
Locatable Rods
Locatable rod equipment can be pushed through small areas to help locate problem lines, as well as in a non-invasive setting. It can also be used in a live gas line settling by using a stuffing box.
Locatable rods are a non-invasive underground pipe locator tool ideal for tracing underground conduit or pipe. Duct rodders are designed to be used with standard underground pipe locator equipment to trace the length of the rod, making locating non-conductive ducts up to 10' depth a simpler task. Locatable rods are the best underground utility locating equipment for PVC gas services, and you don’t even need a tracer wire.
We currently have the following underground utility locating equipment for sale in our lineup:
