Kris-Tech’s directional drilling tracer wire is used in conjunction with trenchless installation of underground pipes. It’s typically used when open cut trenching or excavating aren’t the best option. This wire is used for tracing or locating in trenchless applications, whether it is directional drilling, boring, or micro tunneling.
Wire options include stainless steel and copper clad steel and can be ordered in multiple colors, gauges, and spool lengths. These products are available and in stock at all three Kris-Tech warehouse locations.
