Replacement locating duct rod Ø4.5 mm / 60 lfm black

The fiberglass duct rod is manufactured from a composite material consisting of a continuous fiberglass bundle and a high-strength plastic sheath. Due to the composite structure, the fiberglass duct rod provides high tensile strength, break resistance, and bending strength, which may vary depending on the duct rod diameter. The plastic sheath is designed for high mechanical loads and protects the fiberglass core, including the copper conductor, against wear and corrosion.

Depending on the version, copper conductors may be integrated into the fiberglass bundle. These copper conductors are continuous and connected to the reel frame. The integrated copper conductor can be energized using standard cable and line locating equipment, enabling positional detection and depth determination of the inserted locating duct rod. An integrated copper conductor does not increase the tensile, break, or bending strength of the fiberglass duct rod.
