Locating rod Ø15.0 mm / 350 lm black
Locating Rods
General
Location rodding snakes are ideal for pulling in cables, creating a pilot line, or inserting probes into pipe runs and molded fittings for locating pipe routes and pipe breaks.
All location rodding snakes are mounted in a galvanized steel tubular frame with ball bearings. In addition, the rodding snakes are equipped with a braking device to prevent uncontrolled unwinding of the fiberglass rod. All fiberglass rods feature threaded start and end ferrules to allow the connection of probes and accessories. Depending on the version, location rodding snakes are available with wheels or as frames without wheels to allow easier and more flexible repositioning of the reel.
The fiberglass rod consists of a composite material made of a continuous fiberglass bundle and a high-strength plastic coating. Thanks to this composite structure, the fiberglass rod offers high tensile, breaking, and bending strength, which can vary depending on the rod diameter. The plastic coating is designed for high mechanical loads and protects the fiberglass core including the copper strand from wear and corrosion.
Depending on the version, copper strands may be integrated into the fiberglass bundle. These copper strands are continuous and connected to the frame of the reel. The integrated copper strand can be energized using a standard cable and utility locator, enabling precise position and depth determination of the inserted location rodding snake. The integrated copper strand does not increase tensile, breaking, or bending strength.
