Pictures Above And At Left Show That Taping Tracer Wire Or Allowing Tracer Wire To Make Direct Contact To Gas Mains Or Services Could Result In The Loss Of Life Or Property. Why Take That Chance?

 The TracerSpacer Is A Simple, Low Cost, Snap-On Device Designed To Provide A Consistent Separation Between Plastic Pipe And Its Tracer Wire. This Helps Eliminate The Possibility Of Wire To Pipe Contact Or Electrical Shorts Caused By Installation Defects Or Third Party Damages.

The TracerSpacer Also Ensures That The Tracer Wire Does Not Become Displaced Away From The Pipe During Backfilling. It Maintains A Consistant 6'' Separation To Provide Accurate Locting Of The Pipe In The Future, Therefore, Reducing Your Third Party Damages. 

Sizes Range From 1/2" to 6" Diameter.
