Using this replacement rod for your Condux Python Duct Rodder is straightforward. First, make sure the rod is properly connected to the duct rodder with the male and female end fittings. When using it, guide the rod gently through the duct. The tapered head helps it move smoothly. Remember to avoid forcing the rod too hard, as this could cause damage. After each use, clean the rod with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Check the outer plastic coating regularly for signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, replace the rod to ensure optimal performance.
