What makes the 14mm duct rod different from smaller diameters?
The 14mm cobra rod is significantly more rigid and strong compared to 6mm, 9mm, or 11mm rods. This added stiffness means it can be pushed through long ducts without bowing, making it the right choice for the most challenging installations.
Which industries use 14mm cobra duct rods most often?
They are widely used in energy infrastructure, utilities, and large civil engineering projects where heavy cables must be pulled through long underground ducts. Telecom contractors may also use them when dealing with oversized fibre or multi-core cables.
Can the 14mm duct rod be used with pulling winches?
Contractors often use them with cable socks to grip cables and pulling swivel links to prevent twisting during pulls.
How do contractors handle 14mm rods on site?
Due to their weight and size, reels over 300m often require two-person handling or equipment to move safely. This is why many contractors use them in combination with handling solutions when transporting across sites.
