PC-ROD.50S0UN - Broco Slice Exothermic Cutting Rods 3/16 x 18 Inch (20-Pack)

Professional Exothermic Cutting Solution

The Broco Slice Rod 3/16" x 18" (20pc per box) represents the industry standard for exothermic cutting applications. Designed for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals, these rods utilize a patented design to generate temperatures exceeding 10,000°F. This extreme heat allows the operator to cut, burn, or melt through virtually any known material, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, concrete, and refractory materials.

These 3/16-inch diameter rods are engineered for scenarios requiring finer control than the larger 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch alternatives. They are ideal for piercing smaller holes or working in tighter spaces where excess slag production must be minimized. The 18-inch length offers a balance between maneuverability and burn time, making them a staple in heavy industrial toolkits.

Broco's exothermic rods function by feeding oxygen through a fuel-loaded steel tube. Once ignited via a 12V striker or battery, the rod consumes itself to produce the cutting jet. This process eliminates the need for preheating, allowing for immediate cutting even on rust-covered or mud-caked surfaces. This pack contains 20 uncoated rods, ready for deployment in compatible Slice torch handles.

Key Industrial Benefits

For industrial suppliers and facility managers, the reliability of Broco Slice rods ensures that downtime is minimized during critical repairs. Whether removing seized track pins on heavy machinery or cutting through reinforced concrete during demolition, these rods provide a solution when conventional torches fail.
