INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ (General’s) P16PIP Pipe
& Duct Inspection Probe & Reel Set. Please read this manual carefully and
thoroughly before using the product.
The P16PIP is a probe and reel set that—when attached to a video borescope
inspection system from General—allows plumbers to visually inspect the
interior of water and sewer pipes carrying running water, and HVAC specialists
to visually inspect the interior of ducts. In both applications, inspections can be
documented with video clips and still photos to provide evidence and the
location of blockages or cracks.
The probe and reel set is compatible with the:
• DCS1600, DCS1600ART and DCS1800 Recording Video Borescope
Inspection Systems
• H16 Handheld Recording Console (the DCS1600 System without a probe)
• DCS1800-TR Transmitting Probe Handle/Controller, which enables video
and images captured by the P16PIP probe to be viewed on the console of
a DCS1800ART system)
