Trade Masters RattleSnake Pipe Tracer

A game-changer for plumbing and HVAC professionals, the Trade Masters RattleSnake Pipe Tracer makes locating and tracing pipes effortless—no tools, no guesswork, just precision. Designed for both metal and plastic piping systems (including code-approved soft copper and flexible plastic bends with a minimum 1/2″ ID), this tool lets you trace pipes indoors with just your ears and hands. The self-lubricating, fiberglass-reinforced cable glides smoothly through 120 feet of piping, while the vibrating rattle head ensures you feel the pipe’s path even through walls or ceilings.

Ideal for quick manifold location, this pipe tracer eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming pipe-cutting or invasive inspections. The rattle head’s compact design (33.5mm long) fits through standard plumbing bends, though it won’t navigate hard fittings. Sound travels up to 40 feet through tubing, while vibrations carry through 6 feet of piping—giving you reliable feedback even in tight spaces. Whether you’re working on residential or commercial projects, the RattleSnake streamlines diagnostics, reduces downtime, and keeps your projects on schedule.
