Why The Hathorn Utili-Track Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a sonde locator, it's built to detect multiple active frequencies with minimal interference while also locating passive frequencies like power lines, radio signals, and CATV without requiring a transmitter, giving plumbers and inspection professionals genuine versatility beyond a basic single-frequency wand.

The LOC-UT specifically addresses the needs of plumbers and pipe inspection professionals who need to accurately pinpoint camera sonde locations and trace underground utilities in complex or congested corridors without investing in a premium municipal-grade system.

Passive Locating Without A Transmitter. Unlike basic sonde locators limited to detecting only an active sonde signal, the Utili-Track also locates passive frequencies including power lines, radio signals, and CATV without requiring a separate transmitter, giving it real versatility for tracing utilities beyond just camera sonde work.

Built For Precise, Confident Locating
