The Klein Tools 56014 is a 200-foot non-conductive fiberglass fish tape measuring 3/16 inch wide with a spiral steel leader, suited for long conduit runs. The fiberglass body is flexible enough to glide over existing wires in crowded conduit while providing greater stiffness than other non-conductive tapes. Strength-rated up to 500 pulling pounds. A 17-inch case diameter allows 10 percent more tape per revolution versus a 16-inch case. Laser-etched 1-foot descending markings enable accurate conduit depth measurement. Weighs 6.2 lb. Made in the USA.
Why choose a 200-foot fiberglass tape instead of steel at this length?
Non-conductive fiberglass eliminates the shock risk from accidental contact with energized conductors, which is increasingly important on long runs where verifying de-energization across a full 200-foot pull can be difficult. The weight of a 200-foot fiberglass reel is also less than an equivalent steel reel.
What does the spiral leader do?
The spiral leader is a pre-formed curved tip at the end of the tape. In conduit, the spiral rotates as the tape advances, helping it turn corners at fittings, navigate past obstacles, and avoid snagging on conduit seams. It is particularly effective in conduit with moderate bends.
Is fiberglass as stiff as steel for long conduit pushes?
No — fiberglass tape has less column strength than steel and can bow in large-diameter conduit on very long pushes. For 200-foot runs in 3/4-inch or larger conduit with minimal bends, fiberglass is practical. In 1/2-inch conduit at 200 feet or in conduit with multiple tight bends, consider adding a pulling line first with a shorter tape.
What conduit sizes does the 56014 fit?
The 56014 tape profile fits 1/2-inch conduit and larger. At 200 feet, it is most commonly used in 3/4-inch and larger conduit where the spiral leader has room to rotate and navigate.
What warranty covers the 56014?
Lifetime warranty from Klein Tools — the standard for Klein's installation tools.
