Pipe locating with the Probe L18-05

The Probe L18-05 is mounted to a duct rod using the M10 (Male) or M12 (Female) thread (depending on selection). To avoid losing the signal during insertion, it is recommended to follow the probe with a cable locator.

Optionally, various adapters are available for the Probe L18-33 to mount it onto duct rods with M5 or M6 (Male) threads.
