Dart Systems launches the PipeDart Duct Rod (6/7/2008)

Dart Systems Ltd, a Somerset based manufacturer of cable installation and inspection systems, launches the PipeDart Duct Rod, a new range of cable installation rods and accessories which combine ease of operation and reliable performance.

The new system features high-quality, fibreglass rods sheathed with polypropylene for durability and wear resistance, specifically constructed to provide exceptionally high tensile strength while retaining flexibility. The PipeDart fibreglass rod has a high resin content that ensures greater rigidity and strength, enabling it to endure the additional force required for long duct runs with multiple bends and sweeps.

The PipeDart frames have been designed to be light weight for easy handling in the field. They feature a rugged steel construction with a tough zinc plated finish to aid corrosion resistance. Diameters range from 4.5mm to 11mm, with lengths available from 30 metres ˆ 300 metres. All systems are supplied with brass end fittings and aluminium guide tips but can be fitted with Sonde fittings or adaptors on request. 9mm and 11mm systems are supplied with wheels as standard to aid portability.

The systems are repairable and serviceable, with a range of accessories from replacement tips and splices to frames, cages and rods ensuring that each system can be kept in service with the benefits of reduced costs of ownership that this brings.

The PipeDart rodding system gives a compact and labour saving approach to cable installation whether the user is installing cables in ducts, threading draw ropes through pipes or using with a Sonde transmitter for locating pipes and blockages.

The new PipeDart range complements an extensive range of inspection, installation and location equipment available from Dart Systems.
