Product Description

Master your tasks with precision and ease using the RIDGID Remote Transmitter (catalog number 16728). Tailored for plumbing professionals, this compact yet powerful device can be installed at the end of a fiberglass push cable, duct rod, or sewer cable to facilitate efficient location of the transmitter within a line. The underground locator emits a robust 512 Hz signal that any compatible locator can detect, enabling operators to accurately pinpoint the transmitter's underground position. Designed for effortless use, the transmitter features a battery cover that can be quickly tightened or loosened to activate the device, while a flashing LED light signals when the transmitter is actively working. It boasts an impressive battery life, operating for up to 4 hours on a single AAA-cell alkaline battery, reducing the need for frequent battery changes and allowing uninterrupted work on underground pipe location tasks. When paired with the NaviTrack receiver, the transmitter provides a typical maximum detection range of 25 feet in air and 15 feet in cast iron, though these ranges may vary with ambient noise and interference. RIDGID is a global manufacturer trusted by the skilled trades in more than 100 countries. BUILT FOR THOSE WHO KNOW.®
