Greenlee FTN536 Nylon Fish Tape, Non-Conductive Curl-Resistant Design
The Greenlee FTN536 nylon fish tape, part of the MagnumPRO sub-brand, is engineered for fast, clean fishing in conduit runs where wire or cable is already present. Available in lengths from 50' to 100', this fish tape features a non-conductive, curl-resistant nylon tape that resists kinking and tangling for smoother pulls through tight raceways. A rugged case design improves drop impact capability on the jobsite, and an advanced comfort handle grip reduces fatigue during extended fishing sessions. Every length in this family is rated to a maximum design strength of 250 lb (1.100 kN) tensile strength, delivering dependable performance for electricians and contractors who need a reliable, non-conductive fishing tool for everyday raceway work.
Key Features
- Tape Length Range: Available in 50' and 100' nylon fish tape lengths to match the reach required for the conduit run.
- Durable Construction: Nylon material provides a non-conductive, curl-resistant tape that stays manageable for fast, clean fishing.
- Conduit-Ready Design: Good for fishing in conduit with wire or cable already present, minimizing disruption to existing runs.
- Rugged Case: Reinforced case design improves drop impact capability to withstand jobsite handling.
- Comfort Handle Grip: Advanced ergonomic grip reduces fatigue during repeated pulls and extended use.
- Tensile Strength: 250 lb (1.100 kN) maximum design strength for confident, controlled fishing across the family.
- Intended Use: This nylon fish tape is intended for fishing only; rope or line is recommended for the actual pulling operation.

Greenlee FTN536-50 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Greenlee FTN536 fish tape safe to use near energized conductors?
The FTN536 tape is nylon and non-conductive, which is why it's used for fishing in raceways near energized conductors. That's the main reason to pick it over a steel tape. It won't make the conduit or the existing wiring safe to touch, but the tape itself doesn't carry current.
2) What lengths does the Greenlee FTN536 nylon fish tape come in, and which should I order?
Two lengths: 50 ft (FTN536-50) and 100 ft (FTN536-100). Pick the length against the longest single run you fish, plus enough slack to hold onto at the entry box. Both lengths carry the same 250 lb maximum design strength, so going to 100 ft doesn't cost you anything in rating.
3) Will a nylon fish tape push through conduit that already has wire in it?
That's exactly what the FTN536 is built for. The nylon tape is curl-resistant so it resists kinking and tangling around conductors already in the raceway, which is where a coiled steel tape tends to snag or bind. Good choice for adding a circuit to an occupied conduit without disturbing the existing run.
4) What is the difference between the Greenlee FTN536 nylon fish tape and the Ideal Industries 31-048 E-Class fish tape?
The two differ in tape material and reach. The Greenlee FTN536 uses a nylon tape that is non-conductive and curl-resistant, with a 250 lb (1.100 kN) maximum design strength, and comes in 50 ft and 100 ft lengths. The Ideal Industries 31-048 is a steel fish tape in its E-Class series at 200 ft. Choose the nylon FTN536 when you want a non-conductive tape for fishing near energized conductors; choose a steel tape when you need a longer single run and a stiffer push through long conduit.
5) Nylon versus steel fish tape: which one do I want?
Nylon, like the Greenlee FTN536, is the pick when you need a non-conductive tape or you're threading past conductors already in the pipe, since it resists curling and tangling. Steel is stiffer and pushes further on long, empty runs with multiple bends, and it comes in longer coils, for example the Ideal Industries 31-048 E-Class steel tape at 200 ft. Many crews carry both.
6) I need more than 100 feet of reach. What are my options?
The FTN536 tops out at 100 ft. For longer pulls, a steel tape in a longer coil is the usual answer, such as the Ideal Industries 31-048 E-Class steel fish tape at 200 ft. If the run has to stay non-conductive, break it into shorter fishes between pull points instead of reaching for a longer steel tape.
7) For a short branch-circuit fish in an occupied building, would you spec the Greenlee FTN536 or the Ideal 31-048?
For short runs in an occupied space, the Greenlee FTN536 in the 50 ft length matches the reach without handling excess tape, and its nylon non-conductive tape suits fishing conduit that already has wire or cable in it. The Ideal Industries 31-048 is a 200 ft steel tape, which is more tape than a short branch run needs. Both handle conduit work; the FTN536 also adds a rugged case and comfort handle grip for repeated pulls.
8) Does the Greenlee FTN536 meet REACH requirements, and where is it made?
REACH compliant, and made in the United States. That covers the two items institutional and government procurement usually asks for on a consumable hand tool like this.
9) Will the FTN536 case survive being dropped off a ladder?
Greenlee built the MagnumPRO case with a reinforced design specifically to improve drop impact capability, and the handle uses a comfort grip to cut hand fatigue on repeated pulls. It's the housing, not the tape, that usually fails first on a jobsite tape, which is what that case is addressing.
