Radiodetection FlexiTrace 80m | Pipe Tracing & Blockage Location | 12mm Minimum Pipe Diameter

The Radiodetection FlexiTrace 80m is a specialized traceable pushrod system designed for the accurate mapping of non-metallic pipes and the identification of blockages or collapses. Featuring an 80m length of 5mm diameter rod, this system is engineered for deployment in narrow utility environments, capable of operating in pipes with an internal diameter as small as 12mm. By integrating conducting wires throughout its length and a transmitting sonde at the tip, it allows for both line tracing and point-source location from above ground.

How does the Radiodetection FlexiTrace 80m assist in small-diameter pipe tracing?

The system utilizes a specialized 5mm diameter rod that is highly flexible, allowing it to navigate and trace pipes as small as 12mm where traditional sondes or larger flexrods are physically unable to enter. This makes it an essential tool for residential plumbing, narrow conduits, and complex ducting networks.

Can the entire length of the FlexiTrace 80m be detected from above ground?

Yes, unlike standard pushrods that only carry a signal at the tip, the FlexiTrace features internal conducting wires that allow the entire 80m length to be energized and detected from above ground. This provides a comprehensive view of the pipe's entire route rather than just the final position of the rod.

What equipment is required to energize the FlexiTrace 80m system?

To operate effectively, the rod must be connected to a Radiodetection transmitter or a Genny signal generator to energize the internal wires. Once powered, the signal emitted along the rod or from the end sonde can be accurately tracked using a compatible Radiodetection cable locator.
