When should I use a 9mm duct rod?
A 9mm cobra duct rod is ideal for long or challenging duct runs where extra rigidity is needed. It’s commonly used in utility and construction work where cables must be pulled over significant distances.
Can a 9mm duct rod be used with winches?
Yes. A 9mm rod is often used to pull a rope through the duct before attaching it to a cable pulling winch. This setup adds the pulling power needed for longer cable runs.
What accessories work best with a 9mm duct rod?
Using double eye cable socks ensures cables are held securely during installation. For added protection, cable pulling lubricants help reduce friction across longer pulls.
How does a 9mm cobra duct rod compare to smaller sizes?
A 9mm rod is more rigid than 6mm versions, making it suitable for longer distances or ducts with more resistance. However, for shorter or more confined ducts, smaller rods may be easier to handle.
