Ideal Industries 31-052 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Ideal 31-052 fish tape come with a reel or case?
No. The Ideal Industries 31-052 is a replacement tape only, 200 feet of blued steel with no case or reel. You wind it onto the reel or case you already have. If you need a complete ready to use tool, you want a fish tape sold with its case, not this one.
2) Will this 200 ft blued-steel replacement tape fit my existing fish tape reel?
It is made to fit standard fish tape reels and cases. You pull the old tape out, thread the new one through the reel following the winding direction, secure the end using whatever attachment method your case uses, then cycle it in and out to check it feeds cleanly before taking it to the job. Cases differ in how the tape end anchors, so check that your case uses a standard end attachment.
3) How much pull can a 1,600 lb tensile fish tape handle on a long conduit run?
The tape is rated at 1,600 lb tensile strength, which is the breaking strength of the steel itself, not a recommended pulling load. It is the figure that matters when you are dragging a heavy bundle through a long or multi-bend run. Match it against the pull your job actually requires before you lean on it, and keep steady tension so the tape does not bind in the conduit.
4) What is the difference between a blued-steel fish tape and an oil-coated steel tape?
The blued finish on the 31-052 is a non-oily surface treatment. It resists rust and gives you better grip in the hand without the oily residue an oil-coated tape leaves on your gloves, the wire, and the truck. For damp conduit, underground runs, or tapes that sit in a van through a wet season, the corrosion resistance is the practical reason to choose it.
5) Is a steel fish tape stiff enough for long vertical runs in a multi-story building?
Yes, that is what this one is built for. The 200 foot blued steel tape uses a stiffer profile so it pushes through long runs and multiple bends without folding back on itself, and it is manufactured straight so it feeds without kinking. That combination is what you want for vertical risers and long commercial conduit runs. For short residential runs a shorter tape is easier to manage.
6) Can I use this fish tape for pulling data and low voltage cable, not just power wiring?
Yes. The 31-052 is used for telecommunications and data cable pulling through conduit as well as branch circuit and feeder work, plus retrofit runs where you are adding circuits to an existing building. It is a steel tape, so standard practice applies: do not run it in a conduit with energized conductors.
7) What part number do I order for the Ideal 200 ft blued-steel replacement fish tape?
The part number is Ideal Industries 31-052. It is the 200 foot Blued-Steel replacement tape, supplied as tape only.
