This 18m fish tape is manufactured from highly durable carbon blued steel to withstand heavy-duty pulling tasks. It is designed specifically for professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who need to navigate wire and cable through tight conduit or ducting. The material provides the necessary rigidity required for challenging jobs. Because it is engineered with extra stiffness, this tool prevents buckling during extended pulls. It serves as a reliable solution for anyone managing complex electrical routing projects.
This tool is ideal for installing outdoor lighting or power cables along garden paths and walkways across the UK. It proves particularly useful when running new wiring through underground ducts during autumn garden renovations, especially when the ground is damp. Beyond residential gardens, it is suitable for commercial electrical installations where cable routing becomes complex. You can use it to pull cables through conduits near swimming pools or along paved ramps to ensure all safety lighting is correctly powered. It handles long runs with ease.
To begin, feed the steel tape through the conduit until it reaches the desired exit point. You will need to attach your cables securely to the end of the tape once it has emerged. Pull the tape back steadily to guide the wires through the pipework. No specialised tools are required for this process, though ensuring the conduit is clear of debris is essential preparation. This method allows for a smooth transition of cables through bends in the pipework.
The tape measures 18m in length and is constructed from robust carbon blued steel. It features laser marked increments which allow you to measure conduit length quickly and accurately. The extra stiffness of the steel makes it suitable for long runs where lesser tapes might fail. This single option product is designed for durability and precision during every use. It provides a practical way to manage electrical installations in various environments.
Frequently asked questions
How do the laser markings help during a job?
The laser marked increments provide instant conduit length readings. This feature allows you to know exactly how much distance you have covered within the pipework, which helps in planning your cable lengths accurately.Will this tape buckle during long runs?
No, because it is engineered with extra stiffness specifically to assist with longer runs. This design ensures the steel maintains its shape and avoids buckling when navigating through extended sections of underground ducting.Is this suitable for commercial use?
Yes, professionals can use this tape for complex commercial electrical installations. The carbon blued steel construction is durable enough to handle the rigours of professional sites where cable routing is often difficult.Can I use this for garden lighting?
