To trace non-metallic pipes, a trace wire or sonde needs to be run inside the pipe.
A sonde is usually on the end
of a push rod but needs two people to operate.
One person pushs the sonde through the pipe while the other
person tracks the end with the locator, as it moves through the pipe.
The FLEXITRACE is a better option for standard pipes,
as once it is pushed through the pipe, it provides a continuous trace line the length of the pipe and therefore one person operation.
The operator can go backwards and forwards checking the position of the buried pipe.

FLEXITRACE
|
The Flexitrace is a 50metre 6mm diameter rod and has wire conductors running its full length and a transmitting coil at the end.
The Genny4 is then connected to the rod and coil enabling its location to be traced the entire length to a maximum depth of 3m.
Connecting the Genny4 to both terminals on the Flexitrace means it can be used like a Sonde. Alternatively connecting the Genny4 to one
terminal and ground allows tracing of its entire length like a cable.
The Flexitrace fits into pipes as small as 12mm with a minimum bend radius of 250mm.

FLEXIROD
|
The Flexirod is used for pushing sondes into and along pipes up to 120m (60m model available).
It is a 9mm glass fibre rod in a polypropylene sleeve that is
resisitant to abrasion, most solvents, oils and acids.
The rod has a minimum bend radius of 250mm and at each end a brass collar 62mm in length with a female M10 x 20mm thread suitable for attaching all Radiodetection sondes.
The rod is wound onto a steel spool.
The spool has a manual brake to help the user maintain control of the rod.

33kHz SONDES
 |
Standard Sonde - combines compact size with a strong signal. This is the standard type of sonde for most applications.
Sewer Sonde - has a very strong enclosure suitable for the most abrasive and rugged duty in municipal sewer systems.
Super Sonde - strong construction designed for use in deep sewers.
