Description, Specifications, and 
Standard Equipment

Description

The nanoReel is a modern, portable SeeSnake diagnostic 

reel and camera that has the flexibility and adaptability 
to view small pipes, tubes, voids, and conduits. It 
contains a unique, removable cable drum which makes 
cleaning and replacing push cables convenient. Since 
the nanoReel comes with a removable system cable, it 
can be used with any SeeSnake camera control unit or 
with the hand-held micro CA-300 inspection camera. 

The nanoReel uses an advanced push cable design 

and a proprietary small radius camera design which 
allows camera inspection through pipes with very small 
diameters, P-traps, and very small radius bends which 
conventional inspection systems often cannot inspect.

When using the nanoReel with an appropriate SeeSnake 
control unit, the operator can connect an external line 

transmitter and use a standard locator to line-trace the 
path of the nanoReel push cable in a pipe.

The nanoReel will traverse a 1 in [25 mm] straight
pipe, but its ability to go past 90-degree turns will
depend on the material and construction of individual
pipes and joints. Test the material you intend to
inspect to ensure the camera can pass through turns
successfully. Some fittings in small diameter joints will
allow passage of the camera in only one direction.
