FISH TAPE WITH STEEL (Catalogue Item 2 Of 2)
A steel fish tape used by electricians to route new wiring through walls, conduit, and floor ducts. The tool is designed for pulling phone, network, and speaker cables through tight or bent passages. It features a rigid steel body with a flexible steel leader at the tip for starting the run. The standard colour is orange, and the brand can be printed to order. It is suitable for general electrical installation and maintenance work where high tensile strength is needed.
- Steel body provides high tensile strength for pulling heavy or multiple cables through tight runs
- Flexible steel leader at the tip helps start the run in tight bends and obstacles
- Orange colour is standard for visibility, and the brand can be printed for own-label buyers
- Durable construction handles repeated use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings
- Simple design with no moving parts, making it reliable and easy to maintain
Where It Is Used
- Pulling network and phone cables through walls during building fit-out and renovation
- Running speaker wires through metal or PVC conduit in residential and light commercial projects
- Working in tight or bent ducts where a rigid rod is needed to push through obstructions
- Maintenance tasks where existing cables are in place and a non-conductive tape is not required
- Field use by electricians who need a strong, dependable tool that can handle multiple pulls
Who It Is For
- Electrical wholesalers and importers stocking electrician hand tools
- Hardware and electrical retail chains needing a standard fish tape with branding options
- Electrical contractors doing telecom, data, and power cabling installations
- Maintenance teams in buildings with existing wiring where a strong puller is needed
- OEM and private-label buyers who want their own brand printed on the tool
Problems It Solves
- A flexible nylon or fiberglass tape may not handle heavy pulls; steel provides the strength needed for multi-cable runs
- Steel tapes are more durable in repeated use compared to brittle fiberglass rods
- Electricians need a tool that can push through tight bends and resist deformation under load
- Wholesalers need a single product that can be branded and sold under their own label
- Buyers need a reliable tool that can be used across different types of jobs without failure
Technical Features
- Steel body with flexible steel leader at the tip
- Orange colour as standard for visibility
- No specified tensile strength, bending radius, or diameter in the facts
- No IP rating, fire rating, or material grade beyond 'steel' and 'orange'

Compared With The Alternatives
| Compared With | How This Product Differs |
|---|---|
| Nylon fish tape | Nylon is non-conductive and safe for occupied ducts; steel has higher tensile strength but conducts electricity and should not be used where live circuits are present. |
| Fiberglass fish tape | Fiberglass is lighter and more flexible, but steel is stronger and better for heavy pulls through long or obstructed runs. |
| Spiral spring fish tape | Spiral springs are designed for retrieval and hooking; steel fish tapes are built for pushing and pulling through conduit. |
Use Guide
- Feed the flexible steel leader into the conduit first, letting the main tape follow behind
- Use the steel body to push through bends and obstructions where stiffness is needed
- Do not exceed the mechanical limits of the tool; avoid sharp bends or excessive force
- Re-coil the tape carefully after use to prevent kinks and damage to the steel
- Keep the tool clean and dry to prevent rust, especially if used in damp environments

FISH TAPE WITH STEEL FAQ
Can this fish tape be used in conduit that already has live cable in it?
The steel body conducts electricity. It should not be used in occupied ducts unless proper isolation and safety procedures are followed on site.
Can we have the brand printed on the fish tape?
Yes. The brand can be printed to order. Send the artwork and colour reference, and we will confirm feasibility.
Can we mix this item with other products in one container?
Yes. This item can be mixed with other products such as enclosures, tools, and solar lights in a single container for distributors and importers.
How do we get a sample or a datasheet?
Request a sample and a datasheet directly. We will provide them upon request for evaluation before placing an order.
