valve to be rodded out tech.

[Kassandra_12]

Добрый день,

Подскажите, поджалуйста, что значит выражение "rodded out" в таком предложении из инструкции к клапану:
M5 (модель клапана) is available with an integral metal seat or as a soft seated plug type allowing the valve to be rodded out.

предусматривающий извлечение седла?

Вариант, спасибо.

возможно, речь о безопасной очистке клапана ?

It sounds as though it could mean to repeatedly insert a rod backwards and forwards into the hole to remove any rust, debris etc -- but I'm not an expert.

есть rod out tools

Yep. This could be what they're talking about, except that they're doing it on a valve rather than a radiator:
