JAMESON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about JAMESON from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the Jameson FG-6PKG-1 and BL-6PKG-6-PR pole saws?
The FG-6PKG-1 has an overall length of 13 feet and a fiberglass pole, while the BL-6PKG-6-PR has an overall length of 18 feet. Both use a 13-inch steel blade and a wood handle. The BL-6PKG-6-PR pole has a 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the FG-6PKG-1 is listed with a 1-1/5 inch cutting capacity. The longer model provides additional reach for higher branches or overhead work. Both are intended for cutting wood such as tree branches. Selection depends on the required working height and the user's ability to manage a longer pole.
Which Jameson pole saw head is compatible with the FG-6 extension pole?
The Jameson PS-3FP pole saw head is compatible with the FG-6 extension pole. The PS-3FP is made of aluminum and is intended for telecommunication material applications, including overhead cutting and line clearing. The FG-6 is a 6-foot extension pole that attaches to a pole saw head to increase reach. When ordering, confirm that the head and pole model numbers match the intended assembly. Replacement blades and other accessories for the PS-3FP may be available separately. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for assembly and use.
What wire sizes can the Jameson 7S-65K glow rod set handle?
The Jameson 7S-65K glow rod set is rated for wire sizes from 10 AWG minimum to 24 AWG maximum. The set includes a 30-foot rod and a 5-foot section, each with a 3/16 inch diameter. It is designed for pulling or guiding wires through walls, ceilings, and conduit. The rod's flexibility and diameter suit typical electrical and communication cable installation tasks. For larger or smaller wire sizes, consult the manufacturer's specifications or contact 3G Electric for alternative Jameson rod options. Do not exceed the rated wire capacity.
What is the difference between the Jameson 9A-25-400M and 10-316-300 conduit rodders?
The 9A-25-400M is a 400-foot non-conductive conduit rodder with a round fiberglass tape and a frame case with a 26-1/2 inch diameter. The 10-316-300 is a 300-foot non-conductive conduit rodder with a 3/16 inch wide round fiberglass tape and a 17-inch diameter frame case. Both are used for pulling wires through conduit, raceways, and walls. The primary differences are overall length, tape width, and case size. The longer model provides greater reach for long runs, while the smaller case may be easier to transport in confined spaces. Select based on the conduit run length and available storage.
Are replacement parts available for Jameson fiberglass fish tape rods?
Yes. Jameson offers replacement ferrules and eyelet repair kits for its fiberglass rods. For example, the 6-14-AK replacement ferrule is an 8-inch long ferrule designed for use with a 1/4 inch measuring fiberglass rod. The kit includes a canvas pouch with an end ferrule for storage. These parts allow repair of the rod end rather than replacement of the entire rod. When ordering, verify the rod diameter and model to ensure compatibility. 3G Electric can provide current availability and pricing for Jameson replacement accessories.
What are the typical applications for Jameson non-conductive conduit rodders?
Jameson non-conductive conduit rodders are used for pulling wires through conduit, raceways, and walls. The fiberglass construction provides dielectric isolation, which is relevant when working near energized circuits. Common tasks include installing communication cable, electrical wire, and pull cords in industrial, commercial, and utility environments. The rods are available in lengths from 300 feet to 400 feet and in round or flat tape profiles. They are not intended for use as a primary insulating device; follow all applicable safety procedures and site rules. For specific application questions, consult the manufacturer's documentation.
