CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INSTALLATION
The distance to reach, the diameter of the pipe, whether or not it is already equipped with cables, whether the installed cables are new or old, whether there are lots of curves or obstacles… all of these factors must be taken into account in choosing the right type of fish tape for the conditions of FRICTION, TWISTING STRENGTH and PUSHING STRENGTH.

FRICTION
Friction inside the pipe is decisive in a fish tape’s characteristics. It is a determining factor in selecting the most appropriate material, although it can be improved by using the extensive range of Cable Cleaners and Lubricants.

TWISTING STRENGTH
Turn control is indispensable for getting around possible obstacles, bends and other barriers the fish tape may encounter.

PUSHING STRENGTH
It is important that all the pushing strength applied when a fish tape is inserted into a pipe be transmitted all along its entire length to the other end.
