Fish Tape with Nylon Wire
A non-conductive nylon fish tape for routing wire through walls, conduits, and panel boxes. The tape is 3 mm or 4 mm in diameter and available in 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, and 30 m lengths. It features a flexible steel leader and is designed for safe use in occupied ducts and damp environments. The red handle provides a firm grip during pulling. The product is suitable for electricians and contractors doing domestic, commercial, and industrial installations.
- Nylon tape is non-conductive, so it can be used safely in ducts with live conductors
- Resists aging, wear, and corrosion, extending service life in damp or harsh environments
- Red handle offers a firm, comfortable grip for steady pulling
- Available in five lengths and two diameters, supporting both short runs and long conduit pulls
- Flexible steel leader helps start the run through tight bends and tight spaces
Key Benefits
- Nylon tape is non-conductive, so it can be used safely in ducts with live conductors
- Resists aging, wear, and corrosion, extending service life in damp or harsh environments
- Red handle offers a firm, comfortable grip for steady pulling
- Available in five lengths and two diameters, supporting both short runs and long conduit pulls
- Flexible steel leader helps start the run through tight bends and tight spaces
- Lightweight and easy to handle, reducing fatigue during extended use
Where It Is Used
- Routing new cables through occupied conduit where live wires are already present
- Running wires through damp risers, outdoor conduits, or humid wall cavities
- Pulling cable in residential and light commercial buildings during fit-out and renovation
- Working in tight spaces where a stiff steel tape would bind or damage existing wiring
- Field use by maintenance teams who need a reliable, low-maintenance tool in their kit
Who It Is For
- Electrical wholesalers and importers stocking electrician hand tools
- Electrical contractors doing power, telecom, and data cabling
- Panel builders and installers working in occupied or damp environments
- OEM and private-label buyers who want their own brand printed on the handle
- Distributors serving hardware and electrical retail chains with a full-length range
Problems It Solves
- Steel fish tapes conduct electricity and cannot be used safely in occupied ducts; nylon avoids this risk
- Steel tapes corrode in damp or outdoor environments and eventually bind in the pipe
- Short tapes limit job scope; five length options cover both small and long runs
- A fixed head or rigid tape can’t adapt to different cable types; the flexible leader and steel head allow for varied connections
- Poor grip on the handle leads to slipping; the red handle provides a secure, steady hold
Technical Features
- Nylon tape body is non-conductive and designed for safe use in live environments
- Flexible steel leader at the tip for starting runs through bends and tight spaces
- Tape diameter available in 3 mm and 4 mm
- Tape length options: 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, 30 m
- Red handle provides a firm, comfortable grip during pulling
- Tape is wear resistant and anti-aging, suitable for repeated use

Compared With The Alternatives
| Compared With | How This Product Differs |
|---|---|
| Steel fish tape | Steel is stiffer and better for long straight runs, but it conducts electricity and corrodes. Nylon is the choice when safety in live ducts or damp conditions is required. |
| Fiberglass rod | Fiberglass is rigid and better for pushing through long straight runs. Nylon tape is flexible, coils easily, and handles bends more effectively. |
| Spiral spring fish tape | Spiral springs are designed to hook and retrieve wires. This nylon tape is designed to be pulled through and then fitted with a terminal. |
Use Guide
- Feed the flexible steel leader into the conduit first, allowing the nylon tape to follow
- Choose the correct diameter and length based on the run distance and space constraints
- Fit the terminal or eyelet to the end of the tape before starting the pull, not after
- Do not exceed the physical limits of the tape; avoid sharp bends or excessive force
- After use, wipe the tape clean and re-coil it into the case to prevent damage and contamination

Telecom And Data Cabling
Data and telecom installers pull cable through the same walls and ducts as the electrical trade, but they cannot afford to nick a jacket or work with a conductive tape near live services.
Steel Fiberglass Or Nylon Which Fish Tape To Stock
The three fish tape materials are not competing versions of the same tool. Each one exists because the other two fail in a specific situation. This is how to decide which belongs in your range.
Fish Tape with Nylon Wire FAQ
Is this fish tape safe to use in conduit that already has live wires?
Yes. The nylon tape is non-conductive, which allows safe use in occupied ducts where live conductors are present.
What lengths and diameters are available?
Available in 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m, and 30 m lengths, with tape diameters of 3 mm and 4 mm.
Can we have our own brand printed on the handle?
Yes. The handle can be customised with your brand name or logo for private-label and OEM orders. Send your artwork and we will confirm feasibility.
Can we mix different lengths and diameters in one container?
Yes. The product range supports mixed container orders, allowing distributors to combine lengths and diameters in one shipment.
How do we get exact dimensions and a datasheet before ordering?
Dimensions and technical details are confirmed on enquiry. Contact us with your order details and we will provide a datasheet.
What should we do if we need a different colour?
The standard colour is red. Custom colours are available for bulk orders. Send your colour reference and we will confirm if it can be matched.
