Meet the LeakTronics HHVP 1.5" Pipe Camera: Your New Favorite “Go-Anywhere” Scope

When you’re chasing a hidden leak or blockage inside tight plumbing, every inch counts—literally. That’s exactly where the LeakTronics Hand Held Video Pro 1.5" Pipe Camera (HHVP 1.5) shines. Built specifically to navigate the twists, turns, and tight clearances of 1.5-inch piping, this compact but powerful camera is a game-changer for pool pros, plumbers, and irrigation specialists.

Let’s walk through what makes it special, where it works best, and why LeakTronics backing it with a five-year bulletproof warranty is such a big deal.

Designed for Tight 1.5" Piping – Including Compression Fittings

Most cameras claim to fit in small pipes. The HHVP 1.5" pipe camera is actually engineered for it.

1.5" lines don’t leave a lot of room for error, especially when you start adding fittings into the equation. Compression fittings, in particular, can be a nightmare:

• Slight internal ridges
• Tight transitions
• Sudden directional changes

The HHVP 1.5" camera is purpose-built to glide through these obstacles with control and clarity. Its head and push cable are sized and constructed to move smoothly past compression fittings without hanging up, while still staying centered enough to give you a usable image.

What this means in the field:

• You can scope more of the line, not just the straight sections.
• You’re less likely to get stuck where fittings reduce clearance.
• You get a clearer view of the actual problem area, instead of just guessing based on where the camera stopped.

If you’re tired of trying to “make do” with a camera that’s barely inside the line, the HHVP 1.5" Pipe Camera finally gives you a tool that’s meant for the job.

A Perfect Match for Swimming Pool Plumbing

Swimming pool lines are a different animal. Long runs, multiple elbows, tight turns, and transitions from rigid to flex pipe – and of course, you’re often dealing with 1.5" pipe.

The LeakTronics HHVP 1.5" pipe camera thrives in this environment:

• Suction & Return Lines: Navigate long runs from the equipment pad to the pool with confidence, even when the plumbing takes indirect routes underground.
• Spa Jets & Therapy Lines: These often use 1.5" lines with fitting-heavy layouts. The HHVP camera is ideal for weaving through those tight pathways to pinpoint issues.
• Water Feature Plumbing: Bubblers, deck jets, and waterfalls frequently plumbed in 1.5" can now be scoped properly instead of guessed at.

Pairing the HHVP camera with your existing LeakTronics leak detection equipment gives you a complete system. Start by using Swimming Pool Leak Detection Kits to listen and pressure test, then drop the camera in to visually confirm the problem.

A typical workflow looks like this:

1. Use listening equipment or pressure testing to locate the general area of the leak.
2. Drop the HHVP 1.5" camera in the line to see the actual issue—cracks, separations, roots, debris, collapsed pipe, etc.

No digging first. No cutting blindly. Just accurate visual confirmation.

For pros who want a fully integrated visual and vacuum-based setup, bundle the HHVP with the CamVac System with HHVP 1.5" Camera + CamScan Combo and make your pool diagnostics even more efficient.

Built for Irrigation Systems

Irrigation lines are notorious for being cramped, complex, and full of fittings. Whether you’re dealing with residential sprinklers, commercial landscapes, or golf course systems, a 1.5" capable camera opens up a lot of diagnostic power.

The HHVP 1.5" camera can help you:

• Confirm breaks and offsets instead of guessing from wet spots alone.
• Find crushed or pinched sections under driveways, walkways, or landscaping.
• Inspect valves, tees, and manifolds that live in narrow, congested spaces.

Because the camera is at home inside 1.5" compression fittings and standard plumbing transitions, it’s not just for the “easy” runs. It’s built to help you look where problems actually tend to occur—at the fittings and change-of-direction points.

If you’re a plumber who also handles irrigation or small-diameter drainage lines, pairing the HHVP with Plumbing Leak Detection Kits gives you a powerful combination for both residential and commercial work.

Versatile Across Plumbing Lines and Applications

While it’s optimized for 1.5" lines, the HHVP 1.5" pipe camera isn’t limited to just pools and sprinklers. It’s a versatile tool across a wide range of plumbing systems:

• Residential plumbing lines: Great for small-diameter drain lines, branch lines, and tight access where larger cameras are overkill or simply won’t fit.
• Commercial and light industrial lines: Helpful in facilities where 1.5" supply and return lines handle process water, condensate, or equipment drains.
• Specialty applications: Anywhere you have small-diameter piping—equipment pads, mechanical rooms, utility chases—you’ve now got a camera that can actually navigate the layout.

The bottom line: if it’s 1.5" and you need eyes inside, this camera is built to get you there.

If you also want to pinpoint the camera’s exact location underground, upgrade to the HHVP 1.5" Sonde Camera Head (512Hz Sonde). It adds locating capability so you can mark the precise repair spot on the surface before you ever dig or cut.

Durability Backed by a Five-Year Bulletproof LeakTronics Warranty

It’s one thing to build a camera that can go into 1.5" pipe. It’s another thing to build one that can do it day after day in the real world.

LeakTronics backs the HHVP 1.5" pipe camera with a five-year bulletproof warranty. That’s not just a marketing phrase—it’s a statement of confidence:

• Long-term reliability: You’re not buying a disposable gadget; you’re investing in a professional-grade tool meant to be part of your core kit for years.
• Industry trust: A long-term warranty on a pipe camera is rare. LeakTronics staking that on the HHVP tells you a lot about how it’s built.
• Peace of mind: You can put the camera to work without babying it. It’s made for job sites, not showrooms.

For contractors, this matters. Your equipment has to earn its keep. A camera that spends more time getting repaired than used is dead weight. The HHVP 1.5" pipe camera, supported by LeakTronics’ bulletproof warranty, is designed to stay in the truck, on the job, and making you money.

Complete the System: From Finding the Leak to Fixing It

The HHVP 1.5" pipe camera is a crucial part of a complete leak detection and repair system. Combine it with:

• CamVac Vacuum Leak Detection System – use controlled vacuum to make leaks visible and pair it with your HHVP camera for ultra-accurate diagnostics.
• Pipepoxy Trenchless Pipe Repair Kits – once you’ve identified the damaged section, repair from the inside without tearing up decks, patios, or landscaping.
• Swimming Pool Leak Detection Kits and Plumbing Leak Detection Kits – locate leaks with precision listening equipment, then verify visually with your camera.
