If job requires more rod than is on reel, you can use an additional reel with rod and attach this rod to existing rod. Using Swivel Coupling, attach
the beginning of new rod to end of already installed rod.
1. Attach male grapple to one Big Buddy and begin rodding duct from one end.
2. Attach female grapple to other Big Buddy and begin rodding from opposite end of duct.
3. When the two grapples meet, they lock together inside the duct, enabling the pull.
1. Cut away damaged section(s) of fiberglass rod with a fine-tooth hacksaw or sharp knife. Strip protective jacket back about 1-1/4".
Do not cut into fiberglass core when stripping jacket. Do not crush fiberglass core.
2. Use emery cloth provided to roughen surface of fiberglass core end (Fig. 1). Do not remove large amounts of material during sanding.
3. Clean ends of fiberglass core with a cleaning solvent such as lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol before applying glue.
4. Allow cleaning solvent to evaporate.
5. Throughly mix adhesive per product instructions.
6. Apply drop of adhesive to fiberglass core end (in case of a splice, do one end at a time as in Fig. 2A) and spread over core
with toothpick or nail.
7. Twist ferrule as you insert rod (Fig. 2A and 2B). Clean off excess glue. Return unused materials to kit.
8. Allow sufficient time for adhesive to cure. Adhesive will set in approximately 20 minutes, but requires 24 hours for full cure.
