If you’ve been in the air duct cleaning business for any time you know the importance of rods for cleaning those tough to reach areas.

Most cleaning businesses are familiar with the white rods, which are semi-flexible and are a good general tool for lots of situations.

But at American Caddy Vac, we discovered there were a lot of times when we needed a rod that was more rigid.  For example, in a vertical run, you need that extra stiffness to fight gravity as you clean.

On the other hand, sometimes the white rods were too rigid for certain applications… for example, when cleaning flex duct or when needing to reach around tight corners.

So we developed and make available to our customers two additional color-coded rods.  The red rods are rigid and work great for those vertical shafts and long horizontal runs.

The blue rods are flexible for those situations where a stiff rod might do more damage than good.

All of these rods come equipped with quick-connect heads so you can make quick changes and adjustments.  And these rods can easily be connected together so you can make the run as long as you need to.  You can even connect the different types of rods together to fit then needs of any situation.

If you have any questions about rods or any of our tools, please call us at American Caddy Vac.  We’ve been using these tools for decades and we can help with any situation.
