PESL - Pipe Equipment Tracer for Active and Inactive Pipes
The Pipe Equipment Plastic Mains and Service Tracer is an innovative tool designed to address the challenge of locating underground plastic mains and services. Originating from a concept by British Gas, it features a 30-meter nylon wire equipped with a nose cone and a conductor block, all contained within a durable metal box. This tracer is compatible with standard pipe locators, enabling it to trace both active and inactive pipes and ducts effectively. To facilitate insertion into live gas and water pipes, various glanding systems can be employed using existing fittings. Additionally, it can be introduced through an air hose to locate misplaced thrust boring equipment. For projects requiring longer lengths, users may refer to Flexible Tracer Rods. This product represents a versatile solution for infrastructure detection and maintenance tasks.
The Pipe Equipment Plastic Mains and Service Tracer was developed from an idea conceived by British Gas, to solve the widespread problem of locating underground plastic mains and services.
It consists of a 30 metre nylon wire which is fitted with a nose cone on the leading end and a conductor block on the tail. It is wound on a drum inside a robust metal box using the supplied winding handle.
The Tracer can be introduced into live or dead plastic mains and services. A range of glanding systems are available to allow the Tracer to be inserted directly into live gas and water pipes utilising existing fittings. It can also be used to locate lost thrust boring equipment by inserting through the air hose.
