2 web site www.dcddesign.com duct rodder introduction dcd offers one of the most comprehensive range of duct rodders available anywhere in the world from the smallest 1/8 diameter fish tapes to the rugged 1/2 duct rodders the rod dcd rods are manufactured from state-of-the-art materials formulated to offer the high performance durability demanded by our customers the core of the rod is manufactured by the pultrusion process this involves impregnating high strength continuous glass fiber filaments with a liquefied resin the fibers are drawn in to a heated die where the resin matrix is cured bonding the fibers together and allowing mechanical loads to be transmitted through the matrix and distributed amongst the fibers the resulting pultruded rod combines both the high stiffness required to push the rod through long distances of ducting with the flexibility to handle tight bends without damage this inner core is then coated with a highly durable scratch resistant polypropylene sheath which protects the core from mechanical damage toll free 1-888-swivels 794-8357 tel 604-232-4445 fax 604-232-4446 e-mail sales@dcddesign.com the frames frames are also a feature of the dcd systems the four largest sizes incorporate the new ez-tiptm feature a larger footprint for stability steel brake handles that will last forever dual rod out-feeding positions and wheels inside the frame width the two smallest sizes feature frames with the feedout built into the handle all frames can be laid down on either side these are just some of the design features that will make every unit more usable and friendly for the end user rod selection which is the right rod diameter for any given application the rod selection is usually governed by several factors including duct rodders accessories · · · · the size of ducting it is to be pushed through the distance the rod is to be pushed the number and tightness of bends in the ducting if the ducting is already occupied by cable when being pushed through the duct any rod will tend to form sine waves hitting the wall of the duct at certain intervals each time the rod comes in contact with the wall of the duct it causes friction the friction will build and eventually prevent the rod from being pushed any further small rod in large duct will make more frequent contact with the ducting the same rod in smaller duct will make less frequent contact and therefore less friction so it can be pushed further large rod in small ducting is a good situation but reduced flexibility of the rod may cause increased friction in the tighter bends the chart below is a rough guide as to rod diameter selection but the above factors should all be taken into consideration before making the final selection rod dia 1/8 3/16 1/4 5/16 3/8 7/16 1/2 threaded connection #12 unc #12 unc 5/16 unc 5/16 unc 3/8 unc 3/8 unc 3/8 unc tensile strength of rod 1,125 lb 2,200 lb 4,070 lb 7,700 lb 8,580 lb 11,000 lb 13,000 lb typical strength of glued connection 140 lb 350 lb 800 lb 850 lb 1,150 lb 1,750 lb 1,900 lb typical strength of screwed connection 1,050 lb 1,100 lb 1,150 lb 1,200 lb 1,250 lb minimum bend radius 2 4 7 10 12 16 18 typical max duct dia 1-1/4 2 2-1/2 3 4 8 10 max length of push or pull 150 ft 300 ft 400 ft 600 ft 800 ft 1,200 ft 1,000 ft note all duct rodders are custom built to order and are non-returnable except for warranty all replacement rods will be shipped in a new cage for easy replacement onto the frame extreme care must be taken when handling loose fiberglass rod as it stores considerable energy and may cause severe injury.
