FUTECH Wall Scanner

FUTECH Multiscan Duo Wall Scanner – Professional Cable, Pipe & Stud Detector

Detect Hidden Electrical Cables, Metal Pipes and Wooden Studs Before Drilling

The FUTECH Multiscan Duo Wall Scanner is a professional wall detector designed to locate hidden objects behind walls before drilling, cutting or installing fixtures.

Whether you’re an electrician, plumber, carpenter, kitchen fitter, maintenance contractor or DIY enthusiast, knowing what’s behind a wall before drilling can prevent expensive damage and potentially dangerous accidents.

Using advanced Dual Sensor Technology, the FUTECH Multiscan Duo detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals, live electrical cables and wooden structural elements.

Its clear digital display indicates the position and estimated depth of detected objects, helping you identify potential obstructions with greater confidence.

Available to buy from A-Z Hire in Dublin 12, the FUTECH Multiscan Duo is a practical addition to any professional toolkit.

Professional Wall Scanner for Electricians, Plumbers and Builders

Electrical Cable Detection – Before You Drill

Drilling into a concealed electrical cable can be dangerous and expensive.

The FUTECH Multiscan Duo can detect live electrical conductors up to 50mm beneath the surface, depending on the wall material and operating conditions.

This is particularly useful when installing:

• Shelving and wall-mounted storage
• Kitchen cabinets and bathroom fittings
• Wall-mounted televisions
• Curtain rails and blinds
• Electrical accessories and fixtures

Safety Note: A wall scanner should never be relied upon as the sole method of confirming that an area is safe to drill. Detection results depend on wall construction and site conditions. Follow appropriate electrical isolation and safe drilling procedures.

Metal Pipe Detection – Ideal for Plumbers and Maintenance Contractors

Hidden metal pipes can be difficult to identify, especially in older buildings or properties where drawings are unavailable.

The Multiscan Duo can locate both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it useful when checking for concealed steel and copper pipework.

Typical applications include bathroom renovations, kitchen installations, maintenance work and general plumbing.

The scanner detects metal; it does not specifically identify whether a detected object is a water pipe, gas pipe or another metallic component.

Wooden Stud Detection – Ideal for Carpenters and Fit-Out Contractors

Locating wooden studs behind plasterboard is essential when fitting fixtures that require suitable structural support.

The FUTECH Multiscan Duo offers two wood detection modes:

• Exact Mode: Detection up to 20mm
• Deep Mode: Detection up to 38mm

Useful for locating timber framing during the installation of cabinets, shelves, wall panels and other fittings.

FUTECH Multiscan Duo – Technical Specifications

Maximum detection depths are manufacturer’s stated specifications. Actual performance depends on the material, wall composition, depth, moisture and operating conditions.
