Jameson Duct Hunter Traceable Rodder | 1/4" Fiberglass | 300'–600'
Duct Hunter 1/4" Traceable Rodder Overview
The Jameson Duct Hunter Traceable Rodder is a continuous fiberglass duct rodder with a copper wire embedded in the rod core. When connected to a signal transmitter, the rod energizes and allows contractors to trace the continuous path of underground pipe using a receiver, helping reduce excavation, pavement breakage, and jobsite disruption.
This listing includes 1/4" fiberglass rodder systems in 300' to 600' lengths, built for locating non-conductive pipe such as PVC, PE, concrete, clay, and tile.
