The stayrod arrangement includes a rod disposed adjacent a plurality of heat exchange tubes defining a tube lancing lane therebetween, the tube lane having sludge deposits therein. The rod has planer side portions oriented parallel to the direction of a fluid stream intended to flush the sludge deposits from the tube lane. An anti-rotation connector is connected to the rod for fixing the orientation of the rod with respect to the fluid stream.
