Locatable Duct Rodders & Continuous Duct Rodders
(Don't Forget to order Sondes or Tapes)
Detectable Duct Rodders are available in 5/16" and 7/16" diameter rods. They
are available in the same lengths as the regular rodders and are mounted in the
same frames. The purpose of the Detectable rod is to be able to accurately
locate existing ducting underground or to locate the position of a blockage
within a duct.
Each Detectable Duct Rod unit is supplied with a terminal box mounted on the
frame with male and female banana terminals for external hook up. Both sizes of
rod have #22 Ga. copper wire down the center of the fiberglass core.
It is recommended that a Roller Guide always be used in order to better make the
connection between the end of the rod and the wall of the ducting. This is
necessary in order to complete the circuit back to earth.
Any transmitter can then be hooked up to the terminal box with the second lead
from the transmitter going to ground (spike into earth). Once switched on, the
signal will be transmitted along the duct rod and a standard locator can then be
used to locate the signal source from above ground.
We also offer Stainless Steel adapters with a 1/4" NC male thread for attaching
a Sonde unit to the Swivel Rod End.

NOTES
- These Duct Rodders are custom Built to order and are non-returnable except for warranty. Exercise caution when ordering.
- Caution should be exercised when
ordering long lengths since the signal
diminishes with distance of rod traveled. - Extreme care should be taken when unpacking replacement rod because the fiberglass rod stores considerable energy and may cause severe injury.
