Mini-Cobra & Python Duct Rodders | Condux
Condux Mini-Cobra® & Python® Duct Rodders — Product Overview
Reliable performance, controlled payout, and jobsite-ready construction for conduit rodding applications.
Condux Duct Rodders are designed to improve the efficiency of conduit rodding, pull-line installation, and cable-placement operations. Each duct rod has a glass-reinforced composite core jacketed in a rugged plastic coating for strength, flexibility, fatigue resistance, and long service life.
The lightweight, sturdy cages feature a hand-operated wheel brake for controlled payout. They can be operated upright or on their side to accommodate different jobsite layouts. The 30-inch and 45-inch cages include wheels for added mobility.

Mini-Cobra® duct rodders are intended primarily for smaller duct sizes and shorter runs. The 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch rods are supplied in compact 16-inch or 24-inch cages. Mini-Cobra configurations include two male end fittings and two tapered heads.
Python® duct rodders feature a flexible rod with a heavy-duty outer plastic coating that helps resist abrasion and reduce wear. Python configurations include one male end fitting, one female end fitting, and a tapered head.
