Jameson Mini Duct Hunter Traceable Rodder | 1/8" & 3/16" | 100'–325'
Jameson Mini Duct Hunter Traceable Rodder | 1/8" & 3/16" | 100'–325'
Jameson Mini Duct Hunter Traceable Rodders are built to trace small conduit or pipe by energizing the rod with a compatible signal transmitter and locating it with a receiver. These continuous fiberglass rodders are a practical choice for locating fiber optic cable in PVC pipe without tracer wire, tracing fiber optic mini-duct, and tracing sewer laterals to help avoid cross bores.
Available in 1/8" and 3/16" rod sizes, Mini Duct Hunter units offer lightweight handling, compact transport, and the correct accessory kit for the selected rod size. The 1/8" rod is suited for tighter bends and smaller conduit, while the 3/16" rod offers added stiffness for longer or straighter runs.
- Trace Small Conduit or Pipe — Designed for locating energized rod paths inside walls, floors, or underground.
- Two Rod Sizes — Choose 1/8" for smaller conduit and tighter bends or 3/16" for added stiffness and larger conduit.
- Accessory Kit Included — Each complete unit includes the matching accessory kit for the selected rod size.
- Lightweight Portable Frame — Handle and compact frame design help with transport and jobsite use.
- Jobsite Applications — Useful for fiber optic cable in PVC pipe, mini-duct locating, plumbing, and sewer lateral tracing.
