Product Description

The Fisher TW-6 Pipe and Cable Locator is an essential tool for utility professionals, designed to precisely locate buried pipes, cables, and other underground utilities. Renowned for its durability and ease of use, the TW-6 offers both inductive and conductive tracing modes, providing versatility for various locating tasks. This device excels in complex environments where multiple conductors or metal objects are present, allowing users to accurately trace and pinpoint targets even in congested areas. The inductive mode generates an electromagnetic field around buried conductors, enabling efficient locating without direct contact, while the conductive mode delivers enhanced precision through direct connections to exposed cables or pipes. Whether used for tracing long utility lines or identifying the exact location of valves, risers, or manhole covers, the TW-6 ensures reliable performance with its rugged design and high sensitivity.


With practical features such as an adjustable sensitivity knob, multiple audio feedback tones, and a built-in level indicator display, the TW-6 enhances operational control for field technicians. It supports on-handle or ground-based tracing, offering flexibility depending on the task at hand. This locator is powered by easily replaceable AA batteries, providing up to 30 hours of operation. Its compact build and lightweight design ensure ease of handling during extended operations, while optional accessories like coupling clamps and tracer probes further expand its functionality. Ideal for both routine maintenance and troubleshooting, the TW-6 continues Fisher's legacy of dependable and high-performance locating equipment.


Purpose: Utility locating, pipe tracing, cable detection, line locating, manhole mapping, valve identification, blockage detection, conduit tracing, infrastructure surveying.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can the TW6 be used to locate non-metallic pipes?

    While the TW6 cannot directly detect non-metallic pipes, it can trace them indirectly by using a fish tape or tracing wire inside the pipe. The transmitter attaches to the fish tape to create a signal for the receiver to track.

    What is the maximum effective depth for tracing with the TW6?

    The TW6 can trace cables and pipes up to 10 feet deep in optimal soil conditions. However, depth may vary based on soil type, the size of the conductor, and interference from nearby utilities.

    How can I reduce signal interference from nearby cables?

    You can lower the sensitivity setting or switch from inductive to conductive mode for more precise tracing. Placing the transmitter perpendicular to the target conductor also minimizes interference from parallel lines.

    What is the advantage of using the coupling clamp with the TW6?

    The coupling clamp allows for inductive tracing without a direct metal-to-metal connection, which is useful when conductors are insulated or inaccessible for direct grounding.
    Is there a recommended procedure for triangulating the depth of buried conductors?
    To determine depth, tilt the receiver at a 45-degree angle directly above the conductor, then slowly back away until the signal drops to a minimum (null point). Measure the distance from the receiver to the conductor to estimate depth accurately.
    How can I extend the tracing distance of the TW6?
    For extended tracing, switch to high sensitivity, ensure the ground rod is properly inserted, and keep the transmitter parallel to the conductor.
