Stopper PVC Pipe Locator
The "Sewerin Stopper" connects to hydrants to located plastic, PVC and non-metallic water pipes. In good conditions the Stopper locates plastic pipes over 1000 feet in each direction. Deeper pipes and softer soils reduce the maximum distance. Both the frequency and intensity of the pressure pulse are controllable.

The Combiphon Generator powers and controls both the Striker and Stopper PVC pipe locators.

Sewerin Striker Plastic Pipe Locator
The Striker connects to the outside of plastic PVC (non-metallic) pipes and taps on the plastic pipe, sending sound pulses down the pipes. The Striker plastic pipe locator controls both the frequency and intensity of sound pulses. Then you find the PVC pipe location with the Stethophon 04, T10, A50 or A200, or M300D or other acoustic leak detector. This works on all common pipe materials and doesn't require a connect the water flow. For longer distances, the Sewerin Stopper generated sounds travel much farther. Connecting is quick and easy.

Pipe Hound Plastic Water Pipe Locator
The Pipe Hound" connects to the water system and creates gentle
safe water pulses on the water pipes. Then locate the pipes by
listening with a Sewerin or other water leak detector to identify
the loudest location and pinpoint the pipe position. The "Pipe
Hound" locates pipes of all materials including PVC, PEX, copper,
galvanized steel, polyethene. Because the sound is only coming from
the water pipe, errors and confusion from multiple signals utilities
like radio frequency locators.
- One button operation
- Resin encapsulated electronics for water and impact resistance
- Powered by quick change tool batteries from Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita, Hatiachi, Bosch and more.
- Gentle safe water pulses
- Waterproof stainless steel LED lighted power switch
- Find leaks faster by locating the pipe first
- Minimize digging time and restoration
- Rated to 215 psi
- Locates all water pipes
- Low priced
- Works great with Sewerin water leak detection equipment
Sewerin FG155C Plastic Pipe Locator Controller / High Power Utility Locator Transmitter
The Sewerin FG155C controls and powers the Sewerin Stopper Water Pulser, Sewerin Striker plastic water pipe locator, and provides high power signal for any radio frequency pipe locator with the same frequencies.
- 10 watts max.
- 120 volts creates a stronger signal to connect less often, locate farther and deeper
- 10 frequency choices
- 5 custom frequencies
- Three tools in one: Stopper controller, Striker controller, radio frequency locator transmitter
- Rechargeable battery included
Jameson Plastic Pipe Locator
Locate plastic water pipes up to 300 feet and up to 100 psi by inserting the locator traceable rodder using a sealed stuffing box into
plastic water
pipes for accurate location and depth measurements. The stuffing box connects to the yoke which holds the meter using an
adapter.
Available in 100', 150', 200', 250', 300' kits with 3/16" diameter pushrods.

Jameson Plastic Water Main Locator and Pipe Inspection Insertion Tool
Locate non-metal water pipes and plastic water mains up to 1200 feet in each direction without a tracer wire. Seals with live water pipes up to 100 psi. Accurately locate the position and depth of plastic (C-900) and steel pipes with Radiodetection RD7100 Underground Locators, RD8100 Pipe Locator, RD5100S, RD5100H2O or RD5100H20+. It's like inserting a tracer wire into an existing pipe in both directions.
AR200 Gas / Water Mixer Manifold
Use the AR200 to precisely inject the perfect combination of air and water to create air slugs traveling along the length of the pipe. Then use a Sewerin water leak detector to locate the pipe.
Insert pipe inspection cameras with up to 1 3/8" diameter camera heads into live water mains and direct the camera head in either direction
