How flexable are the rods? I have a hard pipe with a compound bend and a 90 under my fondation.

what is the diameter of the tube? I use the brush with a pipe of 3 inches with out problem including the elbow.

I don't have a 90 deg bend that i use this brush on, I have smaller angle bends and it works ok with those. I hope it works for you.

Basic fiberglass rod so not really designed for sharp bends. You might get way with it if the ell is a large enough radius- say 18" or so.

They are only slightly flexible. I returned mine because they weren't as flexible as the pictures and description led one to believe. I was afraid that they would break easily, too. Good luck!

I purchased this wire hoping for something bendable like a paper clip. It was extremely stiff, and would probably work well as a push rod. The stuff was pretty inexpensive. Might be worth the $ to find out. Hope that helps.

It does bend easy. If a kid holds on to the top horizontal bar it will bend. suggest reinforcing it by internally placing a small diameter thicker gauge pipe.

I guess you could do this with a coupler, but I would not do this as this could be a breaking point. I would look for a 8' rod and if you can't fine one that Hunter makes, then you might be able to use threaded pipe.

You can bend them about as much as a half circle without breaking them. They are a little persistent and will want to return back to their original shape though but if you can hold them down at the bend you want you should be ok

Yes they do have some flex in them... I am a beginner so I'm probably not the right person to ask... but I just went out and I am able to bend the shaft a little, if that helps. I have been happy with them; but again I'm a beginner so I may just not know any better. My only disappointment is that in the picture I thought they were white and deep red, when they are actually white and purple. But I got over it. :)

I have a sportsman 570 and it is 700lbs dry so with fluids and me on it i am pushing over 900lbs and i have had no issues but like you I can see and feel them Flex. I wouldn't be concerned considering they are made of aluminum and by its nature has a lot of give and go compared to steel.

My chimney takes a right angle as it goes through a cement basement wall. I have no trouble with the rods. They are very flexible but firm enough to be able to push them through the bend in the pipe. I used Lock-Tite on the threads of the rods to make sure they don't separate when you back them out. I also put electrical tape on the connections too. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

I bent mine in various directions and adjusted them to what my needs where. Great flexability and no need to worry about their breakage.GOOD LUCK! :)

maybe a little. it is aluminium. you couldn't bend it 90 deg. it would kink

The metal is not too thick to re-bend, but it would take some strong plyers and probably a hammer. I also can't say if the metal is plyable, ie: if it would break at the current bends. For the price, I would try it, and then look at a big box store to replace them with something if they broke.

These are flat strips with one sticky side, like the previous user answered. They bend pretty well, I mounted two strips to the ceiling of my basement to light up at night. The only issues I've had have been bending around 90° corners is a challenge (can't do sharp corners, had to round out the lights in those spots) and the sticky side has come off my walls a few times, but I think it is because of the paint on the basement walls. To fix this, I used sticky Command poster strips and those seem to do the trick.

The rod is constructed so there are 2 narrowed rings in the sacrificial material where the rod will bend without breaking.When I installed the rod in my tank, I didn't have enough room above the tank to put a "straight" rod into the rod hole. With the Camco rod I was able to bend the rod enough to get it into the tank without breaking it. I had about 20 inches above the tank to install the Camco flexible rod. It worked. Once the rod was part way into the tank, I re-straightened the rod as I lowered it into the tank.

You can bend the Dust head as shown in the picture by using your hands but you need strong hands to bend. You're better off getting the dust heads that are already bent at Home Depot and when the 3 section rod breaks, get the rod at Home Depot too, much better quality.

I think that rod is heavy duty. It wont bend too much if you're catching small fish . Iy wont snaps as easy on you. I got ywo of theses and prety satified

This is a straight rod, not curved. You will find this same information in a previous answer.
