Tracer Electrical Wire: The Reliable Solution for Water, Natural Gas, and Fiber Optic Lines supplied by Electrical Cable Supply Ltd. Edmonton


Construction projects require a wide range of reliable and efficient materials, and electrical wire and cable are no exception. From water lines to natural gas lines to fiber optic lines, it is essential that contractors use a durable and efficient electrical wire that can locate and identify underground utilities. Tracer Electrical Wire, distributed by ECS Electrical Cable Supply Ltd. with 9 branches across Canada, provides the perfect solution for small to medium-sized electrical contractors, with competitive pricing and on-time delivery. In this post, we will take a closer look at Tracer Electrical Wire, its benefits, and its applications in water lines, natural gas lines, and fiber optic lines.

What is Tracer Electrical Wire?



Tracer Electrical Wire is a specially designed wire that is used to locate and identify underground utilities. It is made of high-quality materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions, abrasion, and corrosion. 

This wire is available in different sizes and types, depending on the application and the type of utility it is being used for.

Don’t forget to “call before you dig” and refer to your local utilities provider before starting any digging projects.

Tracer Electrical Wire for Water and Natural Gas Lines

Water and Natural Gas lines are an essential part of any construction project, and it is crucial to be able to locate and identify them quickly and efficiently. Tracer Electrical Wire can help with this by allowing contractors to locate leaks and other issues in water and natural gas lines quickly and efficiently, saving time and money. The wire emits a signal that can be detected using a special device. The device can then be used to locate the source of the signal, allowing contractors to pinpoint the exact location of the issue. Additionally, it can prevent damage to the water and natural gas lines during excavation and construction. Because the wire is designed to be highly visible, it can be easily identified during excavation, ensuring that the water lines are not accidentally damaged during the construction process.

Tracer Electrical Wire for Fibre Optic Lines

Fiber optic lines are becoming increasingly popular in construction projects, as they offer high-speed internet access, cable television, and other services. Tracer Electrical Wire can be used in fiber optic lines to help locate and identify them quickly and efficiently. Tracer Electrical Wire for fiber optic lines is designed to be highly visible and easy to detect. This is because fiber optic lines are often buried underground and can be difficult to locate. The wire emits a signal that can be detected using a special device, making it easy to locate the fiber optic lines.

Types of Tracer Electrical Wire used in Water, Natural Gas & Fibre Optic Lines
  • Copper Tracer Wire is the most common type of tracer wire used in water, natural gas and fibre optic lines. This wire is made of high-quality copper, which is a highly conductive material that is resistant to corrosion. It is available in different gauges, depending on the application.
  • Stainless Steel Tracer Wire is another option that is more resistant to corrosion. This wire is made of high-quality stainless steel, which is highly durable and resistant to rust and corrosion. It is often used in harsh environments where corrosion is a concern.
