About
- Video - [1]
- Tracer wire (blue) is required for potable water, sewer (green), gas (yellow).
- 6 colors all together - [2]
Sourcing
- $64 for 500' of 14 ga - [3]
- $140 of 1000' of dog fence wire 14 ga [4]
- Gas tracer wire - $22/100ft - [5]
About
- Different techniques are used. Radar can find pipe, or induction-based emitter/sensor. Or the tracer wirewhere you connect to a wire. [6]
- There is jetting-vaccuum to dig in sensitive areas. Could do pressure washer as needed.
About Wire Quality
- It's the jacket: dog fence, which claims most reliability for burial - is 14AWG XHD [7]. They say that THHN (thermoplastic high heat nylon) is inferior to XHD - ot doesn't last underground
- The above indicates no difference between dog fence and tracer wire.
Tracer Kit
- Useful Amazon reviews - clip to ground and wire you want to trace. Then use the sensor. [8]
- Harbor Freight [9] - manual []
- You energize a wire and use a detector - [10]
- Another - [11]
