Traceable fibreglass rods
Tracing rods & traceable push cables for non-metallic pipes
Non-metallic pipes and conduits are difficult to locate using conventional detection methods – traceable push cables provide the solution. Via the integrated tracer conductor, you feed in a locating signal that can be reliably picked up by standard receivers. This lets you locate plastic lines precisely – whether in construction, network operations or fault-finding.
Your benefits at a glance
- Reliable location of plastic pipes & conduits
- Integrated tracer conductor for signal transmitters (e.g. 33 kHz, 512/640 Hz)
- High push strength thanks to a glass-fibre-reinforced core
- Metre markings and rugged reels for use on construction sites
- Compatible with standard signal transmitters & receivers
Everyday use
The glass-fibre-reinforced core provides the necessary push strength, allowing you to feed the tracing rod into even longer and winding pipe runs. The metre markings support precise positioning, while the rugged reels make handling on site easier – a practical companion for everyday use.
How to find the right push cable
When making your selection, ensure that the tracer conductor is compatible with your existing signal transmitter and receiver, and check the required range for your pipe runs. This ensures that the fed-in locating signal can be reliably picked up again.

What is a tracing rod?
Tracing rods – also known as traceable push cables – are glass-fibre-reinforced push rods with an integrated conductor. A definable locating signal is fed in via a connected signal transmitter, which a receiver at the surface can reliably track – even in the case of non-metallic lines that cannot be located using conventional methods.
Applications of the tracing rod
- Tracing conduits, service connections and protective ducts
- Documenting line routes and pinpointing faults
- Pulling in pilot wires, sondes or pulling heads
Frequencies & compatibility
Different frequencies are used depending on the environment and depth: 33 kHz is suitable for general use, while 512/640 Hz allow for deeper locating with less interference. Always select the frequency and accessories to match your signal transmitter and receiver.
Selection guide: Finding the right tracing rod
- Diameter & length: larger diameters and longer versions increase the push distance and locating range
- Bending radius: match it to the pipe dimensions and bends along the route
- Connections: consider suitable end pieces, threads and pulling heads
- Accessories: allow for sondes, pulling eyes, guide cones and replacement tips
Practical tips for use
- Feed the signal in cleanly and set the earth point correctly
- Locate and document the route in sensible sections
- Reduce mechanical stress at bends – never force the rod
