General Machine Products Company, Inc. (GMP), Trevose, PA, is pleased to introduce Continuous Duct Rodders to its complete line of underground cable placement tools and equipment. GMP Duct Rodders are the perfect tool for underground duct work tasks such as cleaning and locating ducts, threading lines, and pulling cables. GMP offers 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch (6.7, 9, and 12 mm) thickness rodders in lengths that range from 100 to 1,200 feet (30 to 366 m), making them extremely functional. Besides providing easy rodder pay-out, these light-weight, highly-mobile carriers utilize nylon guide bushings to reduce abrasion and wear on the rod material.
The Duct Rodders are light weight, durable and corrosion resistant; and the bright orange colored fiberglass makes them highly visible even in the darkest work locations. The Duct Rodders' fiberglass rods are unaffected by harsh temperature changes and water, making them reliable tools in any environment. The leading-end of each rodder comes with a tapered male-threaded head; while the trailing end features a female-threaded fitting that provides for easy extension attachment. GMP also offers a broad selection of duct rodder accessories to expand on the versatility of the tool, including roller guides, swivel couplings, rod grapples, and sondes. For tough rodding applications GMP offers the Powered Duct Rod Pusher. The Powered Duct Rod Pusher is available for rental or purchase.
The Duct Rodders' fiberglass rods are formulated via a unique pultrusion process that produces unidirectional glass fibers with optimal fiber density of 80%. The fibers are fully impregnated in resin and then bi-axially wound with hi-strength filaments before being completely embedded in the orange polypropylene thermoplastic jacket. This means GMP Duct Rodders deliver long life and excellent handling without the inefficient characteristics associated with traditional pultrusion formulated rods.
