Plumbing and Electrical Equipment
Plumbing and electrical equipment covers the installation-trade machines that fabricate pipe, clear drains, pull cable, and locate buried services. Locators and drain machines lead the classes.
Cómo funciona
Each family mechanizes a trade task: threaders cut standard pipe threads, drain machines drive cutting cables through blockages, pullers draw conductor through conduit within rated tensions, and locators trace buried lines electromagnetically before any excavation.

Cómo elegir
The trade and the size range select the equipment: pipe diameter drives threading and cutting capacity, line size drives cable and jetter selection, conductor and run length drive puller force, and locating capability is judged by frequency options and coupling methods. Damage-prevention practice frames all locating work.
