Note: The 800L is a single-frequency instrument. We always recommend the 800HL model which is a dual-frequency instrument. The 800HL dual-frequency model allows for increased depth in locating underground utilities.
The Pipehorn 800L Utility Locator is a single-frequency instrument designed for professionals tackling the toughest underground utility locating challenges. For increased depth and versatility, we recommend the 800HL dual-frequency model. The 800L delivers superior high-frequency (480 kHz) performance, ideal for locating utilities in difficult conditions like coated iron pipes, un-energized power lines, worn-out tracer tapes, and fiber.
