Starter & Lead Line

NONEL® Starter is a spool of shock tube that is factory-assembled to a nonelectric detonator. Available in 200, 500 or 1,000 foot lengths.

NONEL® Lead Line consists of a 2,500 foot spooled length of shock tube without a detonator. When initiated, the shock tube propagates a low energy signal to the detonator at a rate of 6,500 ft/second.
