Answers to Your Questions

1. How Do Pipe & Cable Locators Work?

Pipe and cable locators work by emitting electromagnetic frequencies that travel through the ground and bounce off metallic utilities like pipes and cables. These signals help the locator pinpoint the exact location of underground utilities.

2. How Do You Use a Pipe & Cable Locator?

To use a pipe and cable locator, connect it to a utility, like a valve or hydrant for pipes, and then sweep the device over the area. The locator will emit electromagnetic signals that help detect buried utilities, showing their location and depth.

3. How Accurate Are Pipe & Cable Locators?

Pipe and cable locators are highly accurate, with the ability to pinpoint the exact location of buried utilities and even estimate their depth. The accuracy can depend on the type of locator, terrain, and environmental conditions, but top models can provide reliable results.

4. Can Pipe & Cable Locators Find Non-Metallic Utilities?

While pipe and cable locators are designed for detecting metallic utilities, some models offer additional functionality to locate non-metallic lines using specialized attachments or by inducing signals through the lines to trace them effectively.

5. How Deep Can Pipe & Cable Locators Detect Utilities?

The depth detection capability of a pipe and cable locator varies based on the model and frequency settings. Generally, they can detect utilities at depths of up to 10 feet or more. Higher-frequency locators are ideal for shallower utilities, while lower frequencies can detect deeper utilities.
