Mini Duct Hunter Traceable Rodders

FAQs

Q: What pipe sizes does the Mini Duct Hunter work in?

A: The Mini Duct Hunter is designed for pipes and ducts measuring between 1/2 and 1-1/2 inches in diameter — the small-bore range that the standard Duct Hunter cannot reach. It is ideal for telecom conduits, small gas service lines, and residential plumbing.

Q: How deep can the Mini Duct Hunter be detected from the surface?

A: The Mini Duct Hunter incorporates a 22 AWG copper trace wire running its full length. When energized with a transmitter signal, it can be located at depths up to 10 feet using a compatible signal receiver.

Q: Can the Mini Duct Hunter be used inside walls and floors, not just underground?

A: Yes. When the energized Mini Duct Hunter rod is pushed into a pipe, the signal radiates outward in all directions — including through walls, floors, and ceilings. A signal receiver detects the frequency applied, allowing the pipe to be traced inside building structures as well as underground.

Q: Does the Mini Duct Hunter come with accessories?

A: Yes. An accessory kit is included with every Mini Duct Hunter purchase. Contact Green Equipment Company for details on what is included and for compatible transmitter recommendations.

Q: What is the difference between the Mini Duct Hunter and the standard Duct Hunter?

A: The Mini Duct Hunter is specifically built for pipes between 1/2 and 1-1/2 inches in diameter and uses a 22 AWG copper trace wire. The standard Duct Hunter handles larger pipe diameters, heavier-gauge wire, and includes live-line stuffing box options for pressurized gas and water applications.
