Greenlee FTS438 Series Steel Fish Tape, MagnumPRO

The Greenlee FTS438 Series Steel Fish Tape is engineered for professional electricians and contractors who demand reliable performance when pulling wire through conduit and raceway systems. Part of the MagnumPRO sub-brand line, this family of fish tapes is built from oil-tempered spring steel and is available in tape lengths ranging from 65 ft up through 240 ft (3 Pack) bulk configurations, including a 100 ft option in 1/4 IN wide tape and 125 ft standard and bulk-pack options, so contractors can match the tape length to the job at hand. Every tape in the FTS438 Series shares a maximum design strength of 400.000 LB (1.700 KN), giving installers the confidence to tackle demanding fishing jobs across a wide range of conduit sizes. A low-profile tip and smaller fish eye with offset bend make navigating tight conduit runs easier, while a viewing port lets you monitor remaining tape length and clear jobsite debris quickly. Made in the United States, these fish tapes are designed for excellent fishing performance from short residential runs to long commercial pulls.

  • Durable Construction: Oil-tempered spring steel construction delivers excellent fishing performance and long-term durability on the jobsite.
  • Tensile Strength: 400.000 LB (1.700 KN) maximum design strength shared across the series for confident pulling on demanding runs.

Greenlee FTS438-65 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What lengths does the Greenlee FTS438 MagnumPRO steel fish tape come in?
Five configurations across the FTS438 Series: 65 ft (FTS438-65), 125 ft (FTS438-125), 125 ft bulk pack (FTS438-125BP), 240 ft bulk pack sold as 3 tapes (FTS438-240BP), and a 100 ft version on 1/4 inch wide tape (FTS438W-100). Short residential runs take the 65 ft; the 125 ft covers most commercial conduit runs, and the 240 ft 3 pack is for crews stocking multiple vans or trucks.
2) What is the difference between the FTS438W-100 1/4 inch wide tape and the standard FTS438 tapes?
The FTS438W-100 runs a 1/4 inch wide steel tape at 100 ft. The wider cross section gives you more column strength for pushing through longer or multi-bend runs, where the standard FTS438 tape is easier to work in smaller conduit. One note on accessories: the R438B swivel ball head Greenlee lists for this series is for 1/8 inch steel fish tapes, so it is not the fitting for the 1/4 inch wide tape.
3) Will a steel fish tape go through tight conduit bends, or should I use something else?
The FTS438 has a low-profile tip with a smaller fish eye and an offset bend, which is what gets it through all sizes of conduit including tight runs. Steel gives you the stiffness to push a long run, but on a stacked pair of 90s a flexible leader helps, which is why Greenlee offers the 439-1 flexible leader and the 439-2 SPEED FLEX leader for this series. For energized panels or where a conductive tape is a problem, a non-conductive fiberglass rod or tape is the right tool instead of steel.
4) Does the Greenlee FTS438 fish tape have a California Prop 65 warning?
Yes. The FTS438 Series carries Prop 65 warnings for both cancer and reproductive harm, with lead named as the chemical. Institutional and government buyers who need the warning documented on submittals should plan for that disclosure.
5) Is the Greenlee MagnumPRO fish tape made in the USA?
Yes, the FTS438 Series steel fish tapes are manufactured in the United States, which matters for Buy American and domestic-preference procurement on public work.
6) What is the difference between the FTS438-125 and the FTS438-125BP?
Same 125 ft steel tape either way. The FTS438-125 is the standard retail configuration and the FTS438-125BP is the bulk pack, which is the one to buy when you are stocking several trucks or a shop crib rather than replacing a single tape.
7) Can you see how much fish tape is left on the reel?
There is a viewing port in the case that shows remaining tape length, and it doubles as the opening to pull out jobsite debris and dirt that rides in with the tape. The tape finish is also a dirt-free type, so the tape stays cleaner in your hands through a long pull day.
