Replacement Fish Tape · 120 ft x 1/8 in · Blued high-carbon steel · IDEAL 31-036
What this product is for
This replacement fish tape is used to restore a compatible IDEAL fish tape housing when the original tape is worn, damaged, or corroded. The 120 ft (36.6 m) blued high-carbon steel tape is intended for pulling conductors through conduit runs where a steel tape is preferred for push strength and control.
Use for
- Replacing the tape in compatible IDEAL fish tape cases
- Pulling wire through conduit in residential, commercial, and industrial work
- Longer runs where a flat steel tape helps with column strength
- General wire pulling with a formed hook end
Avoid for
- Use in energized circuits or where non-conductive fish tape is required
- Applications requiring a complete fish tape case and handle assembly
- Jobs where a fibreglass or polyester tape is better suited for electrical isolation
Best for
Electricians and contractors replacing a worn steel tape in an existing IDEAL reel, especially for conduit runs where 120 ft (36.6 m) reach and steel rigidity help feed through bends and longer sections.
Installed in
Used in compatible IDEAL fish tape housings and on job sites across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.
Why this product exists
Instead of replacing the full fish tape assembly, this replacement tape lets crews keep a serviceable housing in use. Blued high-carbon steel is commonly selected for a balance of push strength, flexibility, and rust resistance during routine wire-pulling work.
Compared with similar products
Compared with non-metallic fish tapes, steel tape is typically chosen when more pushing power is needed on longer or straighter runs. Compared with buying a full reel, a replacement tape can be a practical service part when the case remains usable. Actual performance depends on conduit layout, bend count, lubrication, and site conditions.
