Description
These premium high-performance glass fibre rods provide a strong, lightweight solution for guiding, supporting and positioning in a wide range of applications. Manufactured from high-quality glass fibre, they combine excellent rigidity with low weight, making them easy to handle while maintaining reliable performance.
Available in multiple diameters and lengths, these rods are ideal for use in electrical installation, construction, maintenance, DIY projects and general workshop tasks. Supplied in convenient packs of four, they offer a versatile and economical option wherever durable, non-corroding rods are required.
Product Features
- Offered in a range of diameters from 1.5 mm to 4 mm (with additional intermediate sizes available) to suit light-duty through to more demanding applications.
- Supplied as packs of 4 rods for practical stocking, easy replacement and convenient use on site or in the workshop.
- Choice of lengths including 2 × 2500 mm segments and continuous 5000 mm rods for maximum flexibility in reach and handling.
- High-quality glass fibre construction providing excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio compared with solid metal rods.
- Smooth, consistent finish to aid feeding through tight spaces and to minimise snagging on cables or surfaces.
- Corrosion-resistant and non-conductive material, suitable for use in damp or challenging environments where metal may degrade.
- Precision-manufactured dimensions to ensure consistent performance and compatibility with associated fittings or accessories.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight handling reduces user fatigue when working at height, overhead or over long distances.
- Durable glass fibre construction offers long service life, resisting bending, cracking and impact damage under normal use.
- Non-corroding and low-maintenance design is ideal for repeated use in demanding site or workshop conditions.
- Multiple diameter and length options allow selection of the most efficient rod for each task, helping improve working speed and accuracy.
- Non-conductive properties support safer working practices around electrical installations when used in accordance with relevant safety procedures.
- Supplied in uniform packs of four to simplify inventory control and ensure spares are always available when required.

- Use in service, inspection or maintenance work in confined or difficult-to-reach spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which diameter glass fibre rod should I choose for my application?
Smaller diameters such as 1.5 mm and 2 mm are ideal for light-duty tasks and routing through tighter spaces, while larger diameters like 3 mm and 4 mm provide greater stiffness and strength for more demanding work. Select the smallest diameter that offers sufficient rigidity for the length and load required.
Are these glass fibre rods suitable for use near electrical cables?
Glass fibre is a non-conductive material and is commonly used around electrical installations. However, these rods are not a substitute for certified electrical safety equipment. Always follow relevant electrical safety regulations and working procedures when operating near live circuits.
Can the rods be cut or trimmed to a different length?
Yes, glass fibre rods can usually be cut to length using suitable cutting tools, such as a fine-toothed saw, while wearing appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid irritation from dust or fibres. After cutting, any rough edges should be smoothed to prevent snagging during use.
