COPPERSTEEL TRACER WIRE is a flexible, copper clad steel tracer wire, a low carbon steel core, metallurgically bonded with a copper cladding, that is uniform and continuous, creating a bimetallic conductor that acts as one, ensuring high corrosion resistance. Special annealing process is performed during the cladding process giving HF-CCS the flexibility and feel of copper, but 43% higher in strength which means less breaks than copper tracer wire. It uses a 30 mil, high density, high molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE) insulation. HDPE provides an excellent balance of surface smoothness, processing facility, and electrical consistency, HDPE provides superior strength against underground elements that help prevent handling breaks caused by rocks in shifting soil conditions.

APPLICATION: COPPERSTEEL TRACER WIRE is designed to be buried directly into the ground as an identifier for utilities service lines like gas, water, sewer, telecomunication and electricity. Its copper coating allows the signal from the locating equipment be transmitted through the conductor as a solid copper conductor, due to the skin effect.
