I want to try and find the location of my homes sewer pipe. Iron, six in. diam, 2-3 ft under ground in red clay soil. Will this locate it?

Depends if your soil pipe is iron. If so, it will. Soil pipe can be clay tile (older homes), pvc, iron, or reinforced concrete.

I am recalling something here that does not concern me in that my application was in a crawl space but my understanding from the mnfr. that it must be within a water tight tube or pipe. I found an installation document at the site http://www.proflexcsst.com. The tubing is stainless steel but really thin and vulnerable to mechanical damage.

Yes you can buy black iron pipe at the home depot. I have made clamps up to 10 ft. Long. I think you want 1 1/4" pipe. I would check that though.

No, this probe is for locating pipes, septic tanks etc. Not much bigger than a pencil in width.

Mine is about a foot outside the house. The main sewer line is out front of my house, and there is a large (8"?) cleanout there by the street. Our personal cleanout is in line with that, right below the closest bathroom to the front. It's also the original bathroom in my old house. You can ask your local government or your neighbors which way the main sewer line is, and if you walk around your house and think of where the closest place is to connect to that line, you'll be able to find the cleanout just under the level of your lawn. Once you believe it's there, it's just a matter of time till you find it. :) Mine is about a foot outside the house.

Depends on the soil. I have personally found large objects at 3 feet deep. Small items up to 12 inches (1 foot)

I wouldn't use in a sewer . For that I'd rent an electric unit with a much bigger coil diameter. You don't want to encounter any hard blockage at more than a couple feet. That's how you can easily kink or snap off the coil on this product.

Yes absolutely. If you are using to dig a. Well, Finished my well@ 40 foot. Piping will flex at that length and break. You will need 3-4 buddies to help. I built a 12 ft high scalfting to lean it against. Also I bought extra square tubing and made quick disconnects with pins every 10 ft. That's the best thing u could do saves fighting 30 ft of flexing pipe with 20 lbs of dirt that u don't want to fall out of it if it hits the side of the well. Good luck.

The buried depth of the wire depends on local code and the pro-pointer probably isn't the right tool to find it.1) its detection depth is only a few inches2) the detection footprint is narrow, it is a pin pointer.3) it would be uncomfortable scanning any large area.4) you might be deceived into thinking there wasn't a buried run when in fact there was.

Yes, but run the hose through PVC pipe. I have 150' under ground in pipe only a few inches deep.It works great.

It depends on the size of the output tube, the narrower the higher it would go.... Physics.... However I pump mine with a 1 inch diameter pipe and it pumps up at least 6 feet to my sewer line. I'm pretty sure it would pump higher than that if it had to.

It is not desiged to find "leaks" which may be from a broken pipe or some other source. However, it's purpose is to penetrate the soil to find solid things below ground level. It does that well. For instance, I have found my septic tank and pipes leading to/from my pool. If something like that is the source of the leak then at least you know where to look.

I had one and returned it because it was totally inaccurate. I built my house and I know where the pipes are, it was showing PVC pipes in exterior walls that I KNOW are not present. I wouldn't spend any amount of money on this - and I'm a huge Dewalt fan.

Initally I would say no, unless a technician was present. The reason is that the water pipes would have to go through the cast iron which most likely not flat, and would be difficult to make suitable for the washers of the faucet to adhere to the surface. That feature is required to prevent movement when using the faucet.

The clean out 'plug' for our site was near our house. My neighbors' clean outs all appear to be closer to the alley (sewer line) and some are definately easier to see than others. The general appearance is a 4" diameter (plastic)pipe sticking out of the ground with a screw cover (A large 1.5 x 1.5 inch square that you need a large wrench for is how the cover is opened.) Some of the covers are white, some black and at least one that's green. Depending upon the age of your house and sewer access. you might not have one. Ours came only after we repaired our 'side sewer'. Check with your neighbors. The clean out 'plug' for our site was near our house.

I am not sure I understand your question. If you are referring to digging up pop-up sprinkler heads whose water supply is provided by buried irrigation pipe this shovel would be ideal. The rounded point is less likely to knick the under ground tubing and can move dirt well.

It obviously depends on the distance you're running the pipe; for this unit, 1/2 inch black pipe will work well at up to 15 feet
