The Jameson 15-316-250 Mini Duct Hunter Rodder is designed for locating and mapping underground ducts and pipes, featuring a 250 ft. fiberglass rod with an integrated copper trace wire. Its 3/16 in. diameter supports navigation through 1/2 in. to 1-1/2 in. conduit, allowing precise movement in confined pathways while supporting non-invasive tracing across utility and fiber installations.

Built for accurate detection, the rodder incorporates a 22 AWG copper trace wire that radiates a signal to the surface when energized, making it compatible with standard receivers for tracing pipes through walls, floors, and underground routes. The rodding reel is designed for lightweight handling, while the fiberglass rod construction resists rust in plumbing environments. With the ability to trace sewer laterals up to 4 in. in diameter and detect depths up to 10 ft., the unit supports mapping and identification in fiber optic cable installations and micro-duct applications where tracer wire is not present. A 2.5 in. bend radius allows the rod to move through tight turns, and the included accessory kit supports immediate use on site.

Compact dimensions of 22 in. x 17 in. x 7 in. allow for easy transport, while the lightweight frame with handle improves portability between locations. Designed for smaller conduit systems and detailed tracing work, the The Jameson 15-316-250 Mini Duct Hunter Rodder combines visibility, control, and efficient handling for underground locating.
