FAQs
How long is each individual rod?
Each rod in the 12-piece set measures 91cm.
Can I use these rods in a counter-clockwise direction?
No, you must only rotate the rods in a clockwise direction to ensure the connections remain tightened during use.
Are these suitable for cleaning chimneys?
Yes, the flexibility and reach of the rods make them effective for residential chimney maintenance.
What is the 50mm double worm screw used for?
The worm screw is designed to hook into solid obstructions, allowing you to break them up or pull them back out of the pipe.
Is the rubber plunger safe for all pipes?
The rubber plunger is safe for standard PVC and metal drainage pipes, though it should be used gently to avoid damaging fragile or aged pipe joints.
How do I clean the rods after use?
Rinse them thoroughly with water and allow them to air dry completely before storage to protect the brass-plated connections.
Troubleshooting
Rods disconnecting while inside the pipe
Always ensure you are rotating the rods in a strictly clockwise direction; rotating counter-clockwise will cause the threaded connections to unscrew.
Rod feels stuck or difficult to turn
You may have reached a tight bend in the pipe; do not force the rods, as this can cause them to kink. Retract slightly and try a different angle or insertion depth.
Attachment will not stay connected
Check the threads on both the rod and the attachment for debris. Clean them with a wire brush and ensure they are threaded fully until tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Unibos rod set is straightforward: simply screw the rod ends together until they are tight, ensuring the connection is secure. Compatibility across standard residential pipe diameters is high due to the flexible nature of the rods. Regarding care, always rinse the rods and attachments with clean water after use to prevent corrosion. Inspect the brass-plated ends periodically for any signs of damage or bending. When storing, keep the rods in a dry, cool place and avoid coiling them too tightly for extended periods to maintain their natural flexibility and straightness.
