Inspecting kitchen sink drains and toilet P-traps requires extremely small equipment. Until recently, cameras small enough to fit into those areas didn’t exist. However, as technology advances, cameras are getting not only more powerful, but also more compact. The 5/8-inch Ultra Micro from Ratech Electronics provides high-resolution inspections with a camera that is smaller than the face of a dime.
“It’s the smallest camera we’ve ever manufactured,” says Frank D’Andrea, Ratech president. “Every year customers are asking for smaller cameras. This delivers that.”
Developed as a low-cost system, the Ultra Micro maintains the quality of Ratech’s high-end units in a small, affordable package. The optimized color camera measures 5/8 inch in diameter by 1 inch in length. It is capable of inspecting pipe diameters as small as 1 inch or in 1 1/4-inch straight runs, and it will negotiate multiple bends in 2-inch pipes and services.
“It’s a great fit for plumbers and drain cleaners, who need to get a camera into tight fixtures,” D’Andrea says. “It’s a fit for inspecting swimming pool lines too.”
Control unit compatibility
The camera is compatible with any of the company’s control units and is available with a sun-readable, 10-inch LCD monitor and USB or SD recorder. Systems come in cable lengths of 100 feet.
The camera head includes an anti-scratch sapphire viewing lens and comes housed in a durable stainless steel housing with a centering skid. The push cable is a 0.33-inch-diameter Gel Rod — a premium cable that stops water migration into the cable once the cable is cut or nicked.
Ratech Electronics is a leader in the development and manufacturing of video pipeline inspection technology solutions for municipal, industrial and residential applications.
