FTP-8 | 512 Hertz Flushable Transmitter

Key Features:

• Wide Application Compatibility

The FTP-8 works seamlessly with 512 Hz receivers, including Prototek’s LineFinder 2000/2200, Ferris Analog, and even non-Prototek brands like Ridgid. It is suitable for sewer, septic, and home inspections in both cast iron and nonmetallic pipes.

• Precise Depth Calculation

Provides a range of 8 feet in cast iron and 12 feet in nonmetallic pipes under optimal conditions. Depth calculation is possible by multiplying the distance between nulls by 0.7, provided the receiver supports accurate depth readings.

• Easy Retrieval and Operation

The FTP-8 floats for easy retrieval in sewer or septic systems, and its push-button on/off operation along with clear LED indicators (blue/green for transmission, red for final flush or low battery) ensures simplicity and ease of use.

• Compact and Lightweight

With its compact size (2-1/4” L x 1-3/16” W x 1” H), the FTP-8 is ideal for pipes 3 inches and larger. An eyelet for attaching a lightweight string allows for enhanced control during flushing, increasing accuracy.

• Non-Replaceable Batteries

The FTP-8 uses three LR44 batteries, providing an operational life of approximately 4–5 hours, making it a disposable unit after the battery life expires.
