Tapered Head Accessory | Duct Rod End Fitting Guide | Smooth Conduit Navigation
Tapered Head Accessory | Duct Rod End Fitting Guide | Smooth Conduit Navigation — Product Overview
Tapered Head Accessories are duct rod end fitting guides designed to improve control and reduce friction during duct rodding operations. Installed directly onto the end fitting of a duct rod, the tapered profile helps guide the rod smoothly through conduit runs, bends, and junctions while providing a secure point for pull-line attachment.
Commonly used in telecom, electrical, and utility installations, these accessories help minimize snags and internal conduit abrasion while maintaining consistent rod tracking. Their durable construction supports repeated field use across a wide range of conduit conditions.
Key Features
- Smooth Conduit Navigation – Tapered profile reduces friction and helps guide duct rods through bends, transitions, and tight conduit paths.
- Secure End Fitting Attachment – Threads directly onto duct rod end fittings for stable, tool-free installation.
- Pull Line Ready – Integrated pull-line attachment point supports controlled cable installation and retrieval.
- Durable Field Construction – Built for repeated jobsite use in demanding underground environments.
