Replacement ends for Rutland fiberglass chimney rods?

[Chris18]

Hi,
Anybody know where to get the crimp-on ends (male and female) for the Rutland chimney brush rods? I need a few sets.
They go on the 3/8" rod. 1/4" NPT.
Thanks in advance.

If the ones that were there before are still OK, I'd re-attach with JB Weld

No, I need new ones. But thanks for the input.

Would hydraulic fittings work?

How did they go bad?

I'd bet new rods would be cheaper

No clue if hydraulic fittings would work.

Expiration date... Kidding. The ones I have are 3' long and I want to cut them to 18" so I can feed in from the bottom. My chimney is 30' tall and I hate going up there to sweep after hurting my ankle.

Probably but I can't find rods shorter than 3' and I need 18". Was hoping this would be an easily found item. Finding that it isn't. Wish I still had access to a lathe.

Maybe look into investing in a soot eater, their rods are very flexible for bottom up cleanings.

Will do. Thanks.

I wonder if fishing rod couplers would work?
