    Test Stations

    Snake Pits

    Our snake pits offer an insulated direct connection for your transmitter. The encapsulated magnet system makes finding access points simple. Anti-corrosion technology will give you peace of mind to secure it, cover it, and leave it. The cast iron lids are color coded for instant recognition of the underground utility.

    Cobra T3

    The T3 test stations provide convenient above ground access to connect your locating equipment while protecting your tracer wire. The T3 can handle up to 3 terminals plus optional shorting jumpers for complete flexibility and different field configurations. Made of polypropylene with 1" and 3/4" NPT threads and all hardware is stainless steel. 

    Connectors

    SnakeBite Locking Connector

    SnakeBite locking connectors are the easy way to connect your wires. Simply put wires in, turn 90 degrees and wires are locked in place without striping the wire. This reduces installation time and lowers overall labor cost.

    DryConn Connectors

    Booth of the Dryconn connectors offer quick and reliable connecting solutions. The direct-bury aspect eliminates the need to cut the main line and installs very quickly. Both connectors offer the same waterproof and corrosion proof benefits by being prefilled with a dielectric silicone sealant.

    Snake Charmer

    Spring torque tension control to prevent wire whip. Heavy duty aluminum welded construction. Designed for smaller spools.

    Grounding Anodes

    Grounding your system completes the circuit for more accurate locates and allows for pinpoint accuracy. The grounding anodes enhances the locate transmission and improves the signal for the locate.

    SnakeSkin          

                                    

    An aluminum barbed insert filled with dielectric gel serves as an easy direct connect access point that is rust and corrosion resistant.
