Tracer Wire for Horizontal Directional Drilling

Pro-Line Safety Products manufactures PRO-TRACE HDD copper-clad steel (CCS), which is a directional drilling tracer wire for both open trench and directional boring installations.

PRO-TRACE HDD-CCS PE45

The PRO-TRACE HDD-CCS PE45 locating wire is extra high strength to withstand damage from pipe pulling equipment, elements, sharp objects, and from harsh environments. The directional drilling tracer wire is almost 700% stronger than copper wire. What this means is the installer only needs one wire of PRO-TRACE HDD rather than the 2-5 copper wires to prevent breakage. This HDD tracer wire provides the perfect balance of ductility, strength, and brittleness to ensure durability. When using one wire of 12, 10, or 8 AWG HDD-CCS, the installer can achieve significant savings, along with equal signal strength and corrosion resistance of a copper wire. There is also much greater price stability of the CCS wire than copper wire, and it has no scrap value, discouraging thieves from theft and property damage.
