Nylon Cable Puller (Catalogue Item 1 Of 2)
A non-conductive nylon cable puller for routing wire through conduit, wall cavities and floor ducts. The round nylon tape is 3 mm or 4 mm in diameter and comes in 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m and 30 m lengths, supplied with a flexible steel leader and interchangeable terminals and eyelet. Because the tape itself does not conduct, it can be worked into occupied duct and panel boxes without the risk a bare steel tape carries. Colour is white as standard and can be changed, and the brand can be printed to order.
- Nylon body is non-conductive, so it can be pushed into occupied duct and panel boxes
- Supports a pull of up to 200 lb, enough for multi-core cable runs rather than single pilot lines
- Twelve stock combinations of length and diameter, from 5 m x 3 mm to 30 m x 4 mm, so a distributor can cover short domestic jobs and long conduit runs from one line
- Flexible steel leader starts the run and the interchangeable terminals and eyelet let the electrician change the head instead of the whole tape
- Resists corrosion, so it survives damp risers and outdoor conduit better than an unprotected steel tape
Key Benefits
- Nylon body is non-conductive, so it can be pushed into occupied duct and panel boxes
- Supports a pull of up to 200 lb, enough for multi-core cable runs rather than single pilot lines
- Twelve stock combinations of length and diameter, from 5 m x 3 mm to 30 m x 4 mm, so a distributor can cover short domestic jobs and long conduit runs from one line
- Flexible steel leader starts the run and the interchangeable terminals and eyelet let the electrician change the head instead of the whole tape
- Resists corrosion, so it survives damp risers and outdoor conduit better than an unprotected steel tape
- Colour and printed brand are customisable, which suits importers selling under their own label
Where It Is Used
- Pulling phone, network and speaker cable through walls in fit-out and renovation work
- Running new circuits through PVC and metal conduit in residential and light commercial buildings
- Working in ducts that already carry live cable, where a steel tape is not acceptable
- Floor duct and panel box work where the tape has to feed past existing terminations
- Field kits for maintenance electricians who need a light, corrosion-resistant tape in the van
Who It Is For
- Electrical wholesalers and hardware importers stocking electrician hand tools
- Retail and DIY chains that need a full length range under one own-brand SKU family
- Electrical contractors doing telecom, data and power cabling
- Maintenance teams in buildings where conduit is already occupied
- OEM and private-label buyers who want their own colour and printed brand
Problems It Solves
- A steel fish tape cannot safely enter duct that already carries live conductors; nylon can
- Thin pilot lines snap on heavier pulls, while this tape is rated to 200 lb
- Steel tapes corrode in damp risers and outdoor conduit and then bind inside the pipe
- A fixed head limits what the tape can grip; interchangeable terminals and an eyelet solve that
- Buyers who stock only one length end up refusing jobs; twelve length and diameter options cover both short and long runs
Technical Features
- Round tape profile, so the tape rotates freely inside conduit instead of catching on a flat edge
- Nylon construction rated as non-conductive for telecom, electrical, wall and floor conduit
- Pull and tensile strength of 200 lb
- Bending radius of 1-1/2 in
- Tape diameter 4 mm, quoted as 0.16 in for imperial markets
- Model codes run NL3005 to NL3030 in 3 mm and NL4005 to NL4030 in 4 mm
Specifications
| Material | Nylon |
|---|---|
| Colour | White or customised |
| Tape profile | Round |
| Included | Flexible steel leader, interchangeable terminals, eyelet |
Materials
- Nylon tape body, chosen because it is non-conductive and corrosion resistant
- Steel leader at the head, where stiffness is needed to start the run
Customisation Options
- Colour other than the standard white
- Printed brand for own-label and importer programmes
- Length and diameter mix across the NL3000 and NL4000 model range
Compared With The Alternatives
| Compared With | How This Product Differs |
|---|---|
| Steel fish tape | Steel is stiffer for long straight runs, but it conducts and corrodes. Nylon is the one to specify when the duct is occupied or damp. |
| Fiberglass cable puller | Fiberglass rods are stiffer and better for pushing through straight pipe. Nylon tape coils into a case and handles bends more easily. |
| Spiral spring cable puller | A spring head is made to hook and retrieve. This tape is made to be pulled through and then have a terminal fitted. |
Use Guide
- Feed the steel leader in first and let the nylon tape follow it through the bend
- Fit the terminal or eyelet that matches the cable you are pulling before you start, not halfway through
- Keep the pull inside the 200 lb rating; if the run binds, clear the obstruction rather than adding force
- Do not force the tape past its 1-1/2 in bending radius at the entry point
- Wipe and re-coil the tape into its case after each run so grit does not score the nylon
Nylon Cable Puller FAQ
Is this cable puller safe to use in conduit that already has live cable in it?
The tape body is nylon and is specified as non-conductive, which is the reason to choose it over steel for occupied duct and panel boxes. Normal isolation practice still applies on site.
How much pull can the tape take?
It is rated to support up to 200 lb. That covers multi-core cable pulls, not just a light pilot line.
What lengths and diameters are stocked?
3 mm and 4 mm diameters, each in 5 m, 10 m, 15 m, 20 m, 25 m and 30 m. That is twelve model codes, NL3005 through NL4030.
Can we have it in our own colour and brand?
Yes. White is standard, and both the colour and the printed brand can be changed for own-label orders. Send us the colour reference and artwork and we will confirm what is workable.
What comes in the box besides the tape?
A flexible steel leader plus interchangeable terminals and an eyelet, so the head can be matched to the cable being pulled.
Should we stock this or the fiberglass version?
Stock nylon where runs have bends and ducts may be occupied, and fiberglass where the customer is pushing through long straight pipe. Wholesalers serving general electrical trade usually carry both.
