Ideal 31-094 Steel Fish Tape

This 1,000 ft steel fish tape is built for electricians pulling wire through long conduit runs. The round steel construction delivers a maximum pull rating of 500 lb for heavy cable bundles. It handles wire sizes from 24 AWG up to 10 AWG. The tape comes in a Zoom style case with adhesive and four tips included.

Metal Eyelet and Zoom Case Design

A metal eyelet at the tape end provides a secure attachment point for pulling heads or wire loops. The case is compatible with Zoom style fish tapes for consistent winding and deployment. Adhesive and four tips are supplied so the installer can adapt the leader to different job requirements. Steel material resists kinking during rough pulls.

Replaces Shorter or Weaker Pull Tapes

This reel replaces shorter tapes when a single continuous run exceeds standard lengths. The 500 lb pull strength upgrades from lighter tapes that risk snapping on heavy feeder cable. It is not suited for jobs requiring non-conductive fiberglass or for pulls needing a smaller diameter leader.

Questions about this item

How far can the 1000 ft steel fish tape reach in a conduit run?

The tape is 1000 ft long, so it can be pushed or pulled through conduit runs up to that full length in a single pass.

What size reel or holder does the 3-1/2 in. L fish tape need for storage?

The tape itself is 3-1/2 in. long in its stored form, so it fits standard fish tape reels or cases designed for that compact diameter.

How do you attach the metal eyelet and the included tips before the first pull?

Thread the eyelet onto the tape end, then snap on the chosen adhesive tip; the step often missed is seating the tip fully so it will not detach under the 500 lb maximum pull rating.
