Hi,

Just wandering what to use to get an armoured through a new duct which has been installed prior to me being on site without a pull rope.
Longest run is about 30 meters with probably 2 bends and is about 3 inch diameter but is the flexible type with ridges.
Will rods go that far and round bends especially with it being the ridged type of duct?
I have seen the continuous rod on a reel that bt etc use, is this my only option to hire one and are they flexible enough etc to go round bends of this size etc?

Thanks
 
We have a ball attachment for our Cobra that would do that easily , I think they do a 6mm version which may help with being that bit more flexible .
Also as suggested a decent road compressor and a carrier bag should do it , but I prefer fishing line instead of string .

30 meters is pushing your luck especially with corrugated wall ducting. You could try but you'd need to use an end attachment that looks like an egg whisk.

I saw something just like that on telly a couple of weeks ago.

It was a program about Instruments of Torture and this thing had a screw that made the diameter expand when turned.

I'll leave the rest of it to your imagination ...... :devil2:
