Vivax-Metrotech Sondes
A Sonde is a self-contained, battery powered transmitter used to locate and trace non-conductive pipes and ducts. The Sonde is pushed down the pipe or conduit with a push rod, then a vLoc receiver or Sonde wand tuned to the same frequency can locate the position and depth from above ground.
With multiple operating frequencies and locatable depth ranges available, Vivax-Metrotech Sondes are ideal for most applications that require locating traceable rodders in underground pipes or conduit.
These Vivax-Metrotech Sondes are fitted with a M10 10mm metric thread which can be used to attach the Sonde to a push rod. With the addition of a Jameson 9-169-M10 adapter, you can convert any Buddy System Duct Rodder to a traceable rodder, perfect for maximizing your budget.
