Abstract:
1. An underground system for detecting the presence of underground pipe lines comprising: an underground pipe virtually undetectable with traditional underground detectors; a first tracer wire and a second tracer wire proximate the underground pipe; a tracer wire connector connecting said first tracer wire to said second tracer wire; and a pod from a tracer wire connector kit carrying a sealant with said pod having a tracer wire connector chamber therein and said pod having a first shoulder located in the tracer wire connector chamber, said first shoulder extending transversely from side to side of a first wire channel to form a transverse stop to restrain the tracer wire connector from being dislodged from the tracer wire connector chamber and a second shoulder located in the tracer wire connector chamber, said second shoulder joining an opposite side of said wire connector chamber to said first wire channel with said second shoulder extending transversely from side to side of a second wire channel to form a further transverse stop to restrain the tracer wire connector therein from being dislodged from an opposite side of said chamber, said pod having said first wire channel extending outward from said first shoulder and said second wire channel extending outward from said second shoulder with the tracer wire connector encapsulated therein and maintained in said chamber by said tracer wire connector pod with the first tracer wire and the second tracer wire proximate the underground pipe.
