Properly grounding the tracer wire system is critical in being able to locate your utility. Use a 1.5-pound drive-in magnesium ground rod at dead-ends and access points to pull the locate signal down the target line.
ACCESS POINTS
Provide direct connection to the tracer wire system and engage/disengage ground to control the signal down a target line with Copperhead access points. Choose access points best suited for your application.
