BAILEY Tools

Bailey Drain Tools, Test Plugs & Roof Safety Equipment:

Bailey tools at Smartfox cover two main trade-focused areas: drain and sewer maintenance equipment, and height-safety gear for roof work. The drainage range is the largest part of the collection, with drain rods, test plugs, plungers, brushes, scrapers and specialised rod attachments for clearing, testing and maintaining pipework.

Bailey Drain Rods & Clearing Tools:

Bailey Blue Rods are available in different lengths and diameters, including 1200mm and 1800mm options. They are manufactured from polypropylene to provide a combination of strength, rigidity and flexibility, with solid brass LockFast joints that allow connected rods to be rotated in either direction without the connection coming undone.

Compatible Bailey drain rod attachments include double worm screws for catching obstructions such as paper, rags and debris, retrieving tools for recovering lost rods or tools, drop scrapers, drain-clearing wheels, brushes and rubber plungers. Many of these attachments use the same LockFast connection system, making compatibility an important consideration when building a drain-cleaning setup.

Bailey Drain Test Plugs:

The collection includes an extensive selection of Bailey drain test plugs for pressure testing drain and sewer pipes or forming temporary or permanent pipe closures. Sizes range from small 19mm, 25mm, 32mm and 38mm plugs through to substantially larger pipe diameters.

Different constructions are represented, including nylon, aluminium and steel test plugs. Bailey centre-locking models use an expandable rubber sealing ring that is compressed against the pipe wall as the central mechanism is tightened. Selected models also incorporate a hollow screw for connection to a test hose.

Bailey Roof Safety Equipment:

Alongside drainage tools, the collection includes Bailey equipment for working at height. Products include roof worker kits, universal and padded harnesses, shock-absorbing lanyards, lifeline ropes, roof anchor bars and steel karabiners.

Choosing Bailey Tools:

For drainage work, start with the pipe diameter or task: choose the correct test plug size for pipe testing and closure, or combine compatible Bailey drain rods with the attachment required for clearing, plunging, brushing or retrieving. For roof-safety equipment, select components according to the intended working-at-height system and application.
