Dart Flexitrace 4.5mm x 50m | Pipe Tracer System | 3m Depth Detection

The Dart Flexitrace 4.5mm x 50m provides a specialized technical solution for identifying the route of non-metallic pipes and buried ducts. Constructed with a glass fibre rod core containing internal copper conductors and a durable polypropylene sheath, this system allows for high-precision tracing in narrow environments, functioning effectively in pipes with diameters as small as 12mm.

Also available: Dart Flexitrace 4.5mm × 80m.

How does the Flexitrace assist in locating non-metallic pipes?

The system converts non-metallic utilities into detectable lines by carrying a signal through its internal copper conductors, allowing a standard Cable Avoiding Tool to map the entire path. It provides a lightweight alternative to traditional methods, specifically capable of reaching a depth range of up to 3 meters depending on soil conditions.

What are the dual location modes for this tracer system?

The unit supports Line Location by connecting a signal generator to one terminal and an earth stake to trace the full length of the rod. Alternatively, Sonde Location is achieved by energizing the end coil housing, allowing the 9mm x 75mm tip to be located as a traditional sonde for pinpointing blockages or pipe ends.

Is the Dart Flexitrace compatible with standard locating equipment?

The system is fully compatible with any cable locator and signal generator operating at a frequency of 33kHz. It features a manual brake on the steel frame to maintain rod control during deployment and requires no internal batteries for operation.

Compatible Accessories:

• For visual verification of obstructions, use in conjunction with the Dart DX Self-Levelling Drain Inspection Camera System.
• For general rodding tasks without signal tracing, see the PipeDart Mini Frame Cobra Reel 202-50M.
