When should I use a 6mm duct rod on reel?
A 6mm cobra duct rod is best suited for medium-length duct runs, offering more pushing strength than smaller rods while remaining flexible enough to work through ducts with gradual bends.
Can I pair a 6mm duct rod with cable pulling accessories?
Yes. Many contractors pair their 6mm rod with pulling swivel links to reduce torque and protect cables during installation. It can also be used alongside cable pulling socks to maintain grip on the cable.
Should I clean ducts before using a 6mm cobra rod?
For longer or older ducts, it’s often worth preparing the run beforehand. Using cable duct cleaning mandrels & brushes helps clear blockages or debris, ensuring the duct rod can pass through smoothly.
