Rodding Snakes
General
Rodding snakes are ideally suited for pulling in cables, creating a pilot line, or inserting probes into pipe runs and molded fittings for the purpose of locating pipe routes and pipe breaks.
All 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 unintentional unwinding of the fiberglass rod. All fiberglass rods are fitted with threaded start and end sleeves to allow the connection of probes and accessories. Depending on the version of the rodding snake, there are mobile frames with wheels and frames without wheels, allowing the reel to be repositioned more easily and flexibly.
Fiberglass Rod Construction
The fiberglass rod consists of a composite material made of a continuous fiberglass bundle and a high-strength plastic sheath. Thanks to the composite material, the fiberglass rod has high tensile, breaking, and bending strength, which may vary depending on the diameter of the fiberglass rod. The plastic sheath is designed for high mechanical loads and protects the fiberglass core from wear.
