Southwire SWMT1800-3000S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will 1800 lb mule tape handle the cable pull I'm doing, or do I need a heavier line?
Southwire's polyester mule tape in the 1800 lb rating is a working pull line for typical branch and feeder pulls in conduit. The 1800 lb figure is tensile strength of the tape itself, so it sets the ceiling on the line, not on the pull: rig your pull so tension stays well under it, and step up to a heavier tape or a steel-core line for large multi-conductor feeder pulls where head tension gets close to that number. Flat woven polyester is what makes it usable in conduit, since the flat profile spreads load against the conduit wall instead of cutting into it the way round rope does.
2) How much does a 3000 ft spool of Southwire mule tape weigh, and can one person carry it?
The spool runs 30.7 pounds and measures 12 x 11.5 x 12 inches. That is a one-hand carry for most people and it fits on a shelf in a van, but it is heavy enough that you want it set on the floor or in a payout stand rather than held while someone pulls line off it.
3) Does the mule tape come on a spool I can pull from directly, or do I need my own dispenser?
It ships in a ready-to-use spool container that dispenses the tape directly, so no separate caddy or payout reel is required. Set the box down at the pull end and feed line off it. That also keeps the 3000 ft from tangling, which is the usual failure with tape coiled loose in a bucket.
4) Is 3000 ft of mule tape more than I need, or is buying the long spool the right call?
3000 ft covers long runs without splicing, which is the point of the length. A splice or knot in a pull line is a snag hazard at every coupling and reducer, so having one continuous length longer than your longest run is worth more than the footage itself. For a shop doing repeat commercial or industrial conduit work, the 3000 ft spool means you cut what you need and keep pulling from the same box rather than buying short lengths per job.
5) Can Southwire mule tape be left outdoors or used in wet or underground conduit?
Treat it as an indoor and in-conduit working line. The polyester tape is not rated for sunlight or UV exposure and is not rated for wet location use, so do not leave it staged outside in the sun across a job or leave it sitting in a flooded duct bank between pulls. Pulling through conduit and coiling it back into its box after is the intended use.
6) Is mule tape flame retardant, and can I leave it in a conduit as a permanent pull line?
The polyester tape is not flame retardant, so it should not be treated as material left permanently in place in a plenum, riser, or fire-rated assembly where the fill is scrutinized. Where you want a line left behind for a future pull, use it as a temporary working line and confirm what the job spec allows for abandoned pull line in that raceway.
7) What model number do I order for the 1800 lb 3000 ft Southwire mule tape?
The part is SWMT1800-3000S. The number reads directly: MT for mule tape, 1800 for the tensile rating, 3000 for the footage, S for the spool container. One spool per inner pack, so one unit ordered is one 3000 ft spool.
8) Why is the mule tape white, and does the color matter on a job?
White is a visibility choice. Against dark conduit, a dusty slab, or the inside of a pull box, a white tape is easy to spot and easy to track when you are identifying which line goes to which run in a bank of conduits. It also shows dirt and abrasion, which is a practical way to see when a length has been worked hard enough to retire.
