| Should we purchase a lateral or mainline camera system? |
|
| Lateral cameras are for pipe sizes 2-1/2” through 12”. These cameras are small enough to negotiate the 90° bends. This camera is limited to 12” pipe because of the amount of light the unit provides. These camera systems use fiberglass push cable or rods. Most systems allow up to 300’ of cable. This cable is pushed through the pipe manually and is very difficult to push over 300’ |
|
| Mainline cameras are used in lines 6”; or larger. These camera systems are much larger than the lateral cameras. The light source(s) are much brighter, allowing the camera to view the larger diameter pipes. These cameras are skid or tractor styles. Skid cameras usually include 500’ to 1000’ of coaxial cable. The camera is usually propelled through the pipe with the use of a sewer jetter. Alternatively, the camera can be pulled using a winch and cable. Tractor cameras are remote-controlled, motorized units. These cameras are much more expensive but require little physical effort to operate. |
