A Steady Choice in an Unsteady Market: American-Made Utility Locating

With growing emphasis on U.S. sourcing—and ongoing uncertainty around tariffs and global supply chains—choosing American-made products is no longer just a preference—it’s strategic. Copperhead delivers some of the most reliable, user-friendly utility locating systems available—and every product is proudly made in the U.S.A.

Why Accurate Utility Locating Matters

Every dig puts underground utilities at risk—and failure to properly locate utilities causes millions of dollars in damage each year. Accurately locating buried lines before excavation helps prevent costly damage, service disruptions, and safety hazards. And when non-conductive plastic pipes are involved, traditional detection methods often fall short. That’s where Copperhead comes in.

The Complete Utility Locating System®

Copperhead’s Complete Utility Locating System® provides a reliable, end-to-end signal path to help municipalities, engineers, and contractors locate and protect underground assets with confidence.

From copper-clad steel (CCS) tracer wire to access points, locators, ground rods, and connectors—every component is designed to maintain the integrity of the circuit, creating a reliable and long-lasting connection. And all of it is manufactured in Fayetteville, Tennessee, meeting BABA federal compliance standards. Since their founding in 2004, Copperhead remains committed to US manufacturing to the greatest extent possible in order to ensure the utmost quality of their products.
