utility locating is the utility company's job,If you miss something you are responsible for damages, not to mention possibility manslaughter.Call 811 in New England, its the law. Its also free. Tracing equipment is fine but not the only tool 811 uses, like detailed underground maps.
811 locates are a nationwide law, but they only cover utilities' service, not private lines. Maps are often incomplete; 3 days ago I had a locate done, only about half the traces involved showed up on the official map. Anyone who excavates for a living can tell all kinds of stories about finding utilities that didn't appear on a map or a trace - lots of reasons for this, but lesson is just because you get an 811 locate done, it's not reason to think everything down there is going to paint a line. In congested areas, using an instrument like this and really taking your time often saves a lot of headaches.
I am trying to understand the line transmitter. Could you hook that up to a pvc pipe (for septic lines or would it work on old cast iron pipes) and would it create the frequency to be found above ground with the locator?
@@DaleMcConkey This transmitter only works on metal objects. To trace the pvc sewer lines you will need the Ridgid seesnake camera with a Sonde transmitter in the head.
OMG, It appears to me to be a complete fictional story line. How long did it take to write the script? Clearly no practical experience. 14:30 - it's called a sonde and not running a tracer wire. You guys missed all the basics of practical experience.
Employer rented one of these for me to use... i had no idea what i was doing! Thanks for the edjucation and knowledge to do my job better!
Can you use the Milwaukee pipeline locator with the rigid st-305

Can you locate plastic water main line with the sr-20
Contact Staking University for proper use of all cable pipe locators.
Hey , thx for the vid. One question , will the transmitter work on a steel clean out cable ?
Can you locate sewer line in back yard it is deep in ground 8 feet with this ridgid locater tools ?
If the line has a wire tracer, Yes
Yeah if its a metal pipe or has a tracer wire.

@21trips yes it works
I'm looking at the Sr -24 and the Transmitter st -305 What else will I need as an electrician to use on live and de-energized circuits?
can you do a copper pipe?
I think it does just like the gen one spot of General
811 is free.
No shit, but 811 doesn't locate lines that go into a property, such as private lines.
So when there was no other lines to pick up the signal it located a copper tracer well? Lol
But, seriously good review. The sr20 had basically no learning curve, I'm sure this is the same.
What car is that,thats in cover on top right
