Product Description
Milwaukee 50 ft. 1/8 in. Steel Fish Tape
Model Number: 48-22-4172
The Milwaukee 48-22-4172 is a 50 ft. 1/8 in. Steel Fish Tape — a professional electrician's fish tape for pulling wire and cable through conduit runs, finished wall and ceiling cavities, and electrical raceway systems. Steel fish tape is the workhorse tool for production conduit wire pulling in commercial and industrial electrical work — the steel tape's longitudinal stiffness allows it to be pushed through conduit bends and long horizontal runs without buckling, while its flexibility allows it to navigate the direction changes at swept elbows and long-radius bends that characterize commercial conduit installations. The 1/8 in. width is the standard professional fish tape dimension that threads through standard 1/2 in. and larger conduit sizes, fitting the conduit bore with enough clearance for the tape to advance without binding against the conduit wall while providing adequate tape rigidity for pushing through long runs.
The 50 ft. length covers the majority of standard commercial conduit pull lengths between pull boxes — longer than the 25 ft. tapes used in residential work but shorter than the 100 ft. and 200 ft. extended-length tapes used for the longest straight commercial runs. Milwaukee's polyester-case reel provides smooth, controlled tape feed-out during fishing and consistent retrieval speed during rewind — the reel case protects the steel tape from the kinked storage that coil-stored tapes develop from repeated tight coiling and uncoiling. A professional-quality leader hook at the tape's working end provides the conductor attachment point for connecting pull wire or directly attaching conductors for the pull-through after the fish tape reaches the pull-point.
See Milwaukee's complete fish tape lineup for all available lengths, widths, and constructions including fiberglass non-conductive fish tapes for live electrical work safety.
