Wood Pump Rods
Wood Pump Rods — A Proud Legacy, Replaced by Modern Fiberglass Solutions
Nix Manufacturing, LLC was the leading name in the manufacturing of wood pump rods for generations. For decades, our Stephenville facility crafted high-quality wooden rods trusted by water well professionals, ranchers, and distributors across Texas and the United States. With advancements in technology and scarce availability of pristine quality lumber, Nix faced the hard choice of discontinuing their line of wood pump rods.
Our Legacy of Quality
We are proud of our reputation as the former manufacturer of Nix Wood Pump Rods – a product known for its durability, workmanship, and reliability in countless water wells. Our wood rods were the backbone of many rural and legacy well systems throughout the 20th century and into the 2000s.
