Tracer Wire
Copperhead® copper-clad steel (CCS) tracer wire is a bimetal wire with a steel core and copper cladding. The two metals are metallurgically bonded together with heat and pressure making them inseparable after the cladding process is complete. CCS offers the strength of steel with the conductivity of copper, providing utilities an intelligent alternative to solid copper tracer wire.
All Copperhead® tracer wire is insulated with a durable, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket specifically designed for direct bury.
Designed for Specific Applications
Open Cut
The traditional excavation method to expose existing utilities or install new utilities where there are no buildings or other obstructions in the way. Copperhead® High Strength or SuperFlex™ is the best tracer wire for open-cut applications.
Directional Drill
A trenchless method of installing underground utilities that involves drilling along a chosen bore path to install utilities that need to go under roads, sidewalks, or other obstructions. SoloShot™ Extra-High Strength is the best tracer wire for directional drilling.
Pipe Burst
A trenchless method of replacing old, buried pipes with new pipes by bursting the old pipe and pulling new pipe in its place. SoloShot™ Xtreme is the best tracer wire for pipe bursting.

Meeting the Highest Quality Standard for Tracer Wire
Specifying tracer wire that meets ASTM B1010 is the best measure you can take to protect against corrosion, breakage, defects, and imperfections that can lead to unlocatables. Make sure to ask your tracer wire manufacturer for a ‘Declaration of Conformance to ASTM B1010’ to ensure that the highest quality standard is protecting your underground assets.
