50m Cobra Reel (4mm/6mm/9mm)

The 60m Cobra Reel is a high-quality glass fibre rodding system designed for installing draw ropes and cables into ducts. Available in 6mm for medium-duty tasks or 9mm for heavy-duty rigidity, it features an abrasion-resistant sheath and a robust, freestanding steel frame.

Continuous Glass Fibre Core: Combines structural push rigidity with flexible properties to drive deep into dead conduits or active lines.
Internal Copper Signal Wires: Features integral metallic filaments to let transmitters energize the entire length of the rod.
Compact Safety Dispenser Frame: Housed in a tough, powder-coated steel cage to manage uncoiling and recoiling on site cleanly.
Precision Guide Roller Head: Includes a smooth profile tip to guide the rod smoothly around offset junction bends.

FAQs

What is the primary function of a 50m Cobra Reel?

A Cobra Reel is a continuous flexible fiberglass rod used to push pulling lines, sondes, or inspection cameras through underground ducts, conduits, and pipe networks.

What diameter options are available for this 50m reel?

This 50m reel configuration is available in 4mm, 6mm, or 9mm rod diameters to suit various pipe sizes, structural bends, and pushing rigidity requirements.

Can we hire this unit for short-term projects?

Yes, the 50m Cobra Reel is available for flexible short-term or long-term hire, providing a practical tool for temporary duct rodding or line tracing contracts.

Can it be used to trace the exact path of a non-metallic pipe?

Yes, if you choose a traceable version with internal copper wires, you can connect a transmitter to the terminal to trace the entire rod length.

What material is the rod constructed from?

The rod features a high-tensile fiberglass core coated with a tough, low-friction polypropylene sheathing that resists abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure on site.

What type of frame does the reel utilize?

It is mounted in a rugged, lightweight, and compact steel frame that allows for easy manual deployment, neat rewinding, and transport around tight workspaces.

How does a 4mm rod differ from a 9mm rod in performance?

A 4mm rod is highly flexible for navigating tight bends in small telecom ducts, while a 9mm rod offers high stiffness to prevent buckling over long runs.

What fittings are attached to the ends of the rod?

The rod ends are fitted with brass M10 or M5 threaded guide tips, allowing you to easily screw on pulling eyes, clevises, or transmitting sondes.

Does the reel feature a mechanism to prevent unwanted uncoiling?

Yes, the steel frame includes an integrated brake or friction latch system to control the feed speed and prevent the fiberglass rod from springing out.

How should the Cobra Reel be maintained after field use?

Wipe dirt and mud off the rod as it is rewound, check the fiberglass sheathing for deep cuts, and ensure the brass end fittings remain clean.
