Rod Selection - Construction & Uses
Dryer Vents, Pellet Vents & Smaller Air Ducts
5/16" dia. Solid Nylon Rods: Used for dryer vent and pellet vent cleaning. They are extremely flexible for tight bends and have the small Snaplok ® fittings.
5/16" (SNR08)
3/8" dia. TorqueFlex Rods: Used for dryer vent and pellet vent cleaning as well as air ducts from 6" dia. to 8" dia. They are extremely flexible for tight bends and have the small Snaplok ® fittings.
3/8" (SNR10)
SSLiners, Prefab FP’s & Branch Ducts (Air Duct Cleaning)
1/2" dia. Solid Nylon Rods: Widely used for 6" liners and prefab (manufactured) fireplace cleaning as well as other sizes of liners from 5" - 8" but can also be used as a leader rod in tight bend situations with the larger rods. They have great flexibility with excellent durability. They are also great for rotary cleaning 6" - 10" branch runs in air ducts. They have the "large" SnapLok ® fittings and directly connect to the larger rods below.
1/2" (SNR12)
Open Fireplace & Large Air Duct Rods
5/8" dia. Solid Nylon Rods: These rods have a good mix of flexibility yet somewhat ridged for a wide range of power sweeping applications. Good as leader rods or stand alone for smaller flues but generally too stiff for liner cleaning. For rotary cleaning from the bottom up on taller flues, we recommend using 3 or 4 5/8" rods then add 3/4" rods, then 13/16". These rods also work great for rotary cleaning main trunk lines in air duct cleaning. For longer trunk lines, add some of the 3/4" rods for better control. 3/4" dia. Solid Nylon Rods: These rods are extremely durable, fairly stiff (with a slight flex) and used for power sweeping larger flues and nest removal. They have a little weight when several are connected but work well when combined with the 13/16" on taller flues. They are also a great for rotary cleaning main trunk lines in air ducts. Start with the 5/8" then add these 3/4" as you get farther down the duct. 13/16" dia. Solid Nylon Rods: These rods are extremely durable, very stiff and used for rotary cleaning larger flues, video inspection and tile breaking. These are robust when several are connected and work well as a combo with the 5/8" and 3/4" diameter rods. These rods also work well for larger main trunk lines that are fairly long or vertical air ducts and dryer ducts.
