Developed by Picote specifically for the CIPP market.

Picote Push rods are deceptively simple. At first glance, they look similar to other push rods but we have put layers of thought, advanced technology and rigorous field testing into them.  All of this combines to give you best rod on the market, making your working life easier and putting you firmly in control! Let's look at why you would be wise to add these to your professional CIPP tool kit.
 
THE PICOTE PUSH ROD DESIGN
  • Picote Push Rods come in 1.5m lengths (5ft). Add rods until you build up the required custom length for your project; even if the actual length is different to the plans or project estimate, you can adjust the length mid-project
  • Twisting your custom-built rod assembly is easier than turning a traditional (longer) rod into position. Adjusting the lining, patch or connection collar, becomes much easier
  • They are available in two flex-level options, black rods for in-house lining and grey rods with more rigidity for use underground
  • Lock the rods together for secure pushing and pulling with no coiling or spring-back, giving you total control

Picote Push Rods work with:

Picote Pro Packers,

Picote Connection Collar System 2.0

the Picote Grabber Head for Push Rods  

AND

the NEW Picote Mini Multi-Cutter!

 

USE PICOTE PUSH RODS
WITH: 

  • The Picote Connection Collar System with Push Rods can be used with steam for a faster cure and the steam ports are built-in
  • Picote Connection Collars can be installed from the main or the lateral and the orientation can be changed very quickly mid-way through a job if needed, reducing your risk of resin curing before you have installed it!
  • We have designed the connections between the rods to be solid when locked together and the rods and turning handle are super-sturdy so as you turn the handle, the rods turn at the same speed and to the same extent. This means there is no springing back, or over-turning from all of that tension.

  • Our Push Rods are perfect for use with the Picote Pro Packers allowing you to push, pull, rotate, inflate and extend the reach of the repair
  • They contain our locking technology which is so compact that the rods are flexible enough to be pushed through  multiple 90° bends (watch here)
  • There is no need for additional external air lines. 
  • Combined with the Pro Packer Front Wheel Drive system, you really are in total control!
