DCD 5/16" Detectable Ruf Rod Duct Rodder
A Roller Guide is recommended to create a better connection between the end of the rod and the wall of the ducting. This helps the signal to complete the circuit back to earth. The frame will accommodate up to 1000’ of rod. Longer length pushes should only be tried in smaller ducts (up to 2-1/2"dia.) where there are few bends.
The Standard Ruf Rods include a female rod end, a swivel rod end, and a pulling eye. The Deluxe version includes following accessories: (1) Splice Connector, (1) Flexible Guide Head, (1) Roller Guide, (1) Clevis End, (1) Fiberglass Adhesive, (1) Rod Gripper, and (1) Accessory Pouch.
The core of the rod is manufactured by the pultrusion process. This involves impregnating high strength continuous glass fiber filaments with a liquefied resin. The fibers are drawn into a heated die where the resin matrix is cured, bonding the fibers together and allowing mechanical loads to be transmitted through the matrix and distributed amongst the fibers. The resulting pultruded rod combines both the high stiffness required to push the rod through long distances of ducting, with the flexibility to handle tight bends without damage. This inner core is then coated with a highly durable, scratch resistant polypropylene sheath which protects the core from mechanical damage.
A 25 gauge copper tracer wire imbedded in the rod allows a locate signal to be transmitted through the length rod.
