Conductors for tracer cable products that identify utility assets need to do more than simply help locate underground facilities. Surviving harsh underground conditions is key to longer service life.
Tracer wire remains buried for decades, enduring stresses from incidental impact, vehicle traffic and ground movement. Copperweld CCS tracer wire is strong, flexible and corrosion resistant—the perfect recipe for resiliency. Our tracer wire is designed to last longer than any other tracer wire on the market. Copperweld CCS tracer wire is ASTM B-869 (for CCS Drop Wire) and ASTM B-910 (for Annealed CCS) compliant, even when buried underground for decades.
Copperweld offers multitude of tracer wire options. Below is a list of our most popular wires. Contact our sales team to discuss your project needs and start a quote.
