Introduction 1
Thank you for choosing from the
Trimble family of precision pipe
lasers. You’ve just made a wise
investment in field-proven products
made by Trimble, the world’s
leading manufacturer of laser-
based leveling, alignment, and
grade-control systems.
The pipe laser is an easy-to-use
tool that provides underground
contractors line, elevation, and
grade control for installing storm,
sanitary, or other gravity-flow pipe.
This system can also be used for
tunneling, boring, pipe alignment,
or any other application requiring
line, elevation, and grade control.
The pipe laser projects a highly
visible red beam of laser light in a
direction at a predetermined
(grade) for the alignment of
gravity-flow pipe. The laser light is
intercepted by a target. To align the
pipe, you need to position it so that
the pipe laser’s beam is centered in
the target.
