A system and method for deploying a rod annular blowout preventer using existing hydraulic pressure is provided. The system connects between an existing hydraulic blowout preventer system and a blowout preventer device installed on the wellhead to provide regulated hydraulic pressure to a rod annular blowout preventer. The system comprises a manifold that receives hydraulic fluid from an existing reservoir and pump and accumulator, routes the fluid through a pressure regulator and into the rod annular blowout preventer. The rod annular blowout preventer includes a diaphragm that expands to close the wellbore during maintenance or during an emergency event. The system provides controlled hydraulic actuation of the rod annular blowout preventer, eliminates manual deployment of the rod annular blowout preventer, and allows the operator to initiate the rod annular blowout preventer away from the wellhead.
