Dual Shock Tube Initiator
One is none. Two is one. Now two is built in.
A non-electric initiation device providing dual, redundant initiation capability for shock tube systems — simultaneous or independent firing circuits for increased reliability, flexibility, and mission assurance in tactical, breaching, and demolition environments.
The EOD Gear Dual Shock Tube Initiator is precision-engineered and manufactured in-house under our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, designed for EOD techs, breachers, and operators who understand that redundancy isn't paranoia — it's standard operating procedure. When milliseconds matter, single-point systems introduce unnecessary risk; the Dual STI runs dual lines or independent circuits without added complexity.
Each unit is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, finished to EOD Gear's specifications, and laser-marked in-house. Tight machining tolerances and robust construction support consistent performance in rain, sand, mud, and demanding operational conditions. Built for professional use, validated by experienced operators, and designed around real-world explosive operations.

Runs in a Family
Only need one line? The Single Shock Tube Initiator is the same in-house build in single-circuit form. Prepare the fuse with the EOD Time Fuse Cutter and crimp with the Dual Blasting Cap Crimper — all machined from the same aircraft-grade aluminum in the same Franklin shop.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Dual Shock Tube Initiator used for?
It provides redundant, non-electric initiation capability for shock tube systems during explosive breaching, demolition, and tactical operations — running simultaneous or independent firing circuits for increased reliability and mission assurance in demanding environments.
How is it manufactured?
CNC-machined in-house from aircraft-grade aluminum at EOD Gear's Franklin, Tennessee facility under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. It is Berry Compliant and manufactured under ITAR registration by an SBA-certified SDVOSB and ATF licensed manufacturer.
What makes a dual initiator better than a single initiator?
It eliminates single-point failure risk. Operators can run two independent firing circuits or simultaneous dual lines without added complexity — flexibility and redundancy when timing and reliability are operationally critical.
Is the Dual Shock Tube Initiator available on GSA contract?
Yes — GSA Schedule GS-07F-148GA. Government agencies and authorized buyers may also purchase via P-Card, purchase order, or direct quote, with every request through the contact form answered in writing.
What environments is it designed for?
Rain, sand, mud, and adverse operational conditions. Tight CNC machining tolerances and robust aluminum construction support consistent performance across tactical breaching, field demolition, range operations, and training environments.
Who is authorized to purchase it?
Authorized explosive operators including military EOD units, law enforcement bomb squads, licensed demolition contractors, and government-approved defense entities. EOD Gear is an ATF FFL Type 10 and FEL Type 20 licensed manufacturer with ITAR registration.
Is custom laser engraving available?
Yes. EOD Gear offers custom laser engraving for unit identification, serialization, or organizational markings — contact us through the contact form to discuss engraving requirements and lead times.
