INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omega Engineering, Inc. 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:

• HHB1600 and HHB1800 Recording Video Borescope Inspection Systems

KEY FEATURES

• Ideal for examining the interior of water pipes, sewer pipes, and HVAC
ducts. Especially tailored for 2, 4 and 6 in. I.D. pipes by included probe
centering accessories

• 72 ft. (22m) long probe with 1.1 in. (28mm) diameter camera head

• Eight super-bright white LEDs give probe 640 x 480 pixel (VGA) resolution;
superior optics yield excellent depth of field of 0.4 in. (10mm) to infinity

• Probe is water-tight to IP68 standard (depth of 33 ft./10m) and flexible
enough to make two or more (depending on conditions inside the pipe)
90° bends in a 1.6 in. (40mm) I.D. pipe

• Stainless steel camera head is immune to bathroom toilet cleaner, pipe
and drain cleaning chemicals, gasoline, brake/transmission fluid and
machine oil

• Steel probe reel is sturdy and dust-tight to IP6X standard, works vertically
or horizontally, and has bracket for H16 (HHB1600) console
