Gas & Propane
Accurate detection of buried natural gas and propane lines can mean the difference between life and death. Yet, excavation hits and inaccurate locates continue to cause costly — and dangerous — damage. Properly selecting and installing the right tracer wire products, combined with precise locating methods, helps prevent these risks.
Pinpoint the location of underground gas and propane lines with a strong, reliable, American-made tracer wire system from Copperhead®.
The Complete Utility Locating System® for Gas and Propane
Gas lines are one of the most dangerous buried utilities, accounting for 40% of estimated buried facilities damaged in the U.S. each year. To avoid damage, facility owners are required to install tracer wire along with gas pipe to simplify future locatability. But tracer wire for gas lines alone is not enough. A complete system including ground rods, connectors, and access points ensures that the locate signal is carried along the entire target line.
In addition to safety and damage prevention, Copperhead® understands the importance of standards, approvals, and regulatory compliance. That’s why we developed best practices for selecting and installing a tracer wire system that will meet regulatory requirements and best protect your buried gas lines.
