Frequently Asked Questions
Can these glass fibre rods be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the rods can be cut to size using suitable cutting tools such as a fine-toothed hacksaw or rotary tool. It is recommended to wear appropriate personal protective equipment and to smooth any cut edges before use.
Are the rods suitable for outdoor use?
Glass fibre is naturally resistant to corrosion and many environmental factors, making these rods suitable for most outdoor applications. However, exposure conditions will vary, so periodic inspection is advisable in demanding environments.
Are these rods electrically conductive?
No, glass fibre is a non-conductive material, so these rods are suitable for use in applications where electrical insulation is required. Always ensure overall system design and safety requirements are properly assessed for your specific application.
