Fiberglass cable pulling rod Q-LANTEC Pilot FRP Ø8 mm, 50 m, no pulley (NPK-80-50-S)

Q-LANTEC Pilot FRP fiberglass cable pulling rod Ø8 mm, 50 m is a flexible and lightweight rod system designed to assist in routing and pulling cables through conduits and ducts. Made from glass-fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), the rod is non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, allowing safe work near electrical installations and in moist environments. The 8 mm nominal diameter and 50 m length make it suitable for medium-distance runs in buildings and external ducts. This version is supplied without pulley wheels, providing a simple, compact tool for electricians and cable installers who require a reliable fish tape replacement or conduit access aid.

Advantages

The fiberglass construction provides low weight and high flexibility while maintaining tensile strength for pushing and pulling operations. Non-conductive FRP reduces electrical hazards when working close to live circuits, and corrosion resistance ensures durability in humid or chemically aggressive environments. At 8 mm diameter the rod can pass through narrow conduit bends and the 50 m length covers typical floors and short external runs. Supplied without pulley wheels, the product is compact for transport and storage and can be adapted to different applications by adding compatible end fittings if required.

Suitable for

• Routing and pulling copper or fibre optic cables through conduit and ductwork
• Replacing or supplementing fish tape in electrical installations
• Accessing conduit runs in residential and commercial buildings
• Outdoor duct and pit cable pulls where non-conductive tools are preferred

Key specifications

• Material: glass-fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), non-conductive
• Nominal diameter: 8 mm
• Length: 50 m (continuous rod length)
• Construction: flexible rod sections designed for push/pull operation
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface suitable for moist environments
• Delivery: supplied without pulley wheels or end fittings

How to use

Insert the leading end of the rod into the conduit and gradually push the rod forward while rotating slightly to help negotiate bends. When the rod reaches the target point, attach the cable or a pulling line to the rod end using an appropriate connector or tape, then pull the rod back to draw the cable through the conduit. For longer reaches or tighter bends, advance and retract in stages, and avoid excessive force that could overstress joints between rod sections. If an end fitting or pulley is required, mount a compatible accessory before pulling.

Usage recommendations

Use gloves and eye protection when handling the rod to avoid splinters from FRP cut ends. Do not use the rod as a personal protection ground or assume it is safe to contact live conductors; always follow electrical safety procedures. Store coiled on a reel or in a bag to prevent kinks and inspect joints before each use. For applications requiring wheel-guided pulling, choose a suitable pulley accessory that matches the rod diameter and conduit size.
