Combiphon System

The premier product for locating plastic pipes acoustically.

The COMBIPHON® system by Sewerin is an advanced solution designed for the acoustic location of non-metallic pipes, such as plastic and fiber cement pipelines, which are not detectable using conventional electromagnetic methods. By inducing mechanical vibrations within the pipe, the system allows these vibrations to propagate along the pipeline and transmit to the surface, where they can be detected using a ground microphone. This technique enables precise tracing of the pipeline's path by identifying areas of maximum vibration intensity.


The COMBIPHON® system comprises the Generator G5 central control unit and various impulse generators, including the Striker and Stopper accessories. The Striker functions as an external mechanical hammer, steadily tapping the pipe to create vibrations suitable for locating residential connections. Conversely, the Stopper introduces controlled pulses into the water column via hydrants, making it ideal for larger water mains and longer-distance applications.
