Plastic pipe detector

Dec 14, 2004 2 Replies

Hi,



My mate's just bought a brand new house, which has the new plastic piping for the heating system.



Someone told him you can buy a detector, just like you can for metal pipes, that can indicate where in the wall this pipe is.



- i.e. so he can avoid drilling into it.



Does such a device exist? If so, where might he get one. Thanks,



Chris.



Haven't seen one for this purpose, but some of the metal detectors on the market using magneto-inferometry (or something like that) have a water detection mode which might work

First off, unless you spend a fortune you won't get a decent detector for anything, so this whole thread could turn out to be pointless. If you do want a decent one there was a thread on here in the last few days that points you to an American supplier, (US ones are the only ones that will work anywhere near reliably enough to be confident that it does what it says).
