Series 53700 & 56200
5/16" & 7/16" dia. DETECTABLE DUCT ROD
DCD Detectable Duct Rodders are available in 5/16" and
7/16" diameter rods. They are available in the same
lengths as the regular rodders and are mounted in the same frames. The
purpose of the Detectable rod is to be able to accurately locate
existing ducting underground or to locate the position of a blockage
within a duct.
Each DCD detectable Duct Rod unit is supplied with a terminal
box mounted on the frame with male and female banana terminals
for external hook up. Both sizes of rod have #22 Ga. copper
wire down the center of the fiberglass core.
It is recommended that a Roller Guide (Series 57150) always
be used in order to better make the connection between the end
of the rod and the wall of the ducting. This is necessary
in order to complete the circuit back to earth.
Any transmitter can then be hooked up to the terminal box with
the second lead from the transmitter going to ground (spike into
earth). Once switched on, the signal will be transmitted along
the duct rod and a standard locator can then be used to locate
the signal source from above ground.
DCD Also offers Stainless Steel adapters with a 1/4" NC
male thread for attaching a Sonde unit to the Swivel Rod End.
