Precision Underground Pipe Laser for Professional Contractors
The Leica Piper 200 Pipe Laser (Model 748710) is a professional-grade, self-leveling pipe laser engineered for demanding underground utility, sewer, and drainage installation projects. Trusted by civil contractors and utility crews worldwide, the Piper 200 delivers exceptional grade and alignment accuracy in pipes from 4" to 36" in diameter. Whether you're laying new sewer mains, storm drain systems, or culvert pipes, the Piper 200 ensures every run is on grade and on line from the first manhole to the last catch basin.
Built for Real Jobsite Conditions
Underground pipe work demands an instrument that can handle mud, water, confined spaces, and constant vibration. The Leica Piper 200 is rated IP67 waterproof and dustproof, meaning it can be fully submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes and still perform without interruption. Its rugged housing withstands the knocks and drops of active construction environments. Remote-controlled operation lets crews adjust grade and alignment from above ground, reducing the need for workers to re-enter the trench and improving site safety and efficiency.

Job Applications
Sewer Main Installation
Set grade at the upstream manhole and drive a perfectly aligned, on-grade sewer main for hundreds of feet. The Piper 200's remote control lets your grade man work from the surface while the machine tracks true.
Storm Drain & Culvert Work
Achieve tight grade tolerances on storm drain runs and culverts where positive drainage is critical. The self-leveling system keeps the beam accurate even on sloped setups.
Directional Boring & Trenchless Applications
Use the Piper 200 as a reference laser for HDD and pipe-bursting operations where precise entry angles and exit grades must be established before boring begins.
Municipal Utility Rehabilitation
Verify existing pipe grades during inspection or relining projects. The bright red beam and accurate grade readout give crews confidence in as-built conditions before committing to rehab work.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What pipe diameters can the Leica Piper 200 accommodate?
- With the appropriate centering rod accessories, the Leica Piper 200 can be used in pipes ranging from 4 inches to 36 inches in diameter, making it suitable for most municipal and contractor sewer and drain pipe sizes.
- Is the Leica Piper 200 truly waterproof?
- Yes. The Piper 200 carries an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand submersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes — ideal for wet trench conditions.
- Can I control the Piper 200 from above ground?
- Yes. The Piper 200 supports remote control operation with a range of up to 100 meters, allowing operators to adjust grade and alignment settings from the surface without re-entering the trench.
- What is the grade accuracy of the Leica Piper 200?
- The Leica Piper 200 delivers an accuracy of ±1.5mm at 30 meters, with a self-leveling range of ±5° and a grade setting range of ±10%, providing the precision required for compliant sewer and drainage installations.
