How to find the right copper pipe from a bunch

cubix

Hoping someone may have come up with a solution

Have a bunch of 3/4" coppers running in a common area ceiling which one has a pin hole. Some are feeds from multiple attic tanks and others will be expansions. To try and save time and hard ship of draining tanks is there a device you can strap to to a copper up in the attic tank room which sends a low volt pulse down it and you put a receiver onto each of the coppers up in the ceiling until it beeps.

A bit like doing a continuity test with a multimeter or like the cat cable testers

I'm sure one of those cat 6 dialler wire finding do dad would work. not sure how it would fair out if there was a not conductive section or fitting on the line.

if there isn't any means to turn off the output from the tanks then this is a wake up call for you to fit some. its only a disaster waiting to happen

you could freze the pipe too

Try and check the temperature of the pipes at each end and them listen while someone taps/bangs the pipes.

Nothing electrical is going to work if all the pipes are bonded together because any voltage/signal will be applied to all the pipes.
