Mini-Cobra & Python Duct Rodders | Durable Glass-Reinforced Rod Systems — Product Overview
Condux Duct Rodders deliver reliable performance and long-lasting durability for rodding and cable installation tasks. Built with a glass-reinforced composite core and a durable plastic coating, these rod systems are engineered for strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear in demanding job site environments.
Available in both Mini-Cobra and Python configurations, these rodders cover a wide range of diameters and lengths, offering smooth feed, precise control, and easy portability. Each system includes standard end fittings and a repair kit for ongoing maintenance.
