Continuous pipe and duct rodding systems, often referred to as cobra rods, conduit snakes, duct rods or conduit rods, give a compact and labour saving solution when installing duct ropes or testing ducts.
The two main uses for Cobra Rodding Systems are:
- To push a sonde through a duct or pipe to track it’s course with a cable avoidance tool.
- To put through a duct to bring back a draw string to pull a winch rope through the duct.
If used with a sonde, unless it is a mini-sonde, select a cobra a diameter larger than would usually thought appropriate for the length. This will give a heavy sonde more support.
Before pushing the cobra through the duct, slacken the brake handle enough to allow the reel to rotate but retain sufficient drag to prevent over-run and excess rod to come off the reel.
As you feed the rod into the duct, check the outer polypropylene for damage from previous usage.
Features
- Rod housed in a sturdy metal frame with an integral brake. Simply rotate the wheel to guide the rod down the duct.
- Compact construction: Easy to transport.
- Provided pre attached with bullet pulling eye.
