ProH2O Water Leak Detection Application Guide
SENSOR CABLE INSTALLATION
Leak detection around pipes
ProH2O detection cable can be used to provide early warning of leaks from pipework, valves and similar
equipment.
It is important to maintain the surface contact between the pipe and detection cable. A
maximum spacing of 150mm (6") is recommended between cable ties when the detection cable is
attached to a pipe.
Adding lagging around the pipe over the detection cable further improves the chance of
detecting a leak. The effectiveness of the detection cable when attached underneath a pipe is dependant on
many variables however the most important differerence between leak detection on a pipe and laying the cable
on a surface is that a continuous flow of water must be present on the pipe to trigger an alarm.
