The Duct Hunter™ by Jameson is a traceable duct rodder designed to provide a non-invasive solution for locating and mapping underground ducts and pipes. By incorporating a copper trace wire within its fiberglass core, the Duct Hunter™ allows for efficient detection of non-conductive pipes, such as PVC conduits, without the need for digging or trenching. This feature is particularly beneficial for utility professionals in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Nevada, and Texas, where accurate underground utility mapping is essential for safe excavation and construction activities.

The Duct Hunter™ is available in various rod diameters and lengths to accommodate different applications. For instance, the 5/16-inch diameter rod is suitable for locating pipes ranging from 2 to 4 inches in diameter, with lengths up to 1,200 feet. The 7/16-inch diameter rod is designed for larger conduits, offering lengths up to 1,000 feet. Each rod is marked every 5 feet for precise depth measurement, enhancing accuracy during utility mapping projects.

To operate the Duct Hunter™, technicians attach a signal transmitter to the rod's copper wire, energizing it with an electromagnetic signal. This signal can then be detected from above ground using a hand-held receiver, allowing for accurate tracing of the pipe's path and depth. The system's design includes a built-in handle and wheels for easy transport, a safety feed eye for controlled payout, and an accessory kit with components like a pulling eye and roller guide to facilitate various locating tasks.
