Apex C1278DN Peerless Tape Measure 200 Ft Steel

Product Description

The APEX C1278DN is a 200-foot open-reel tape measure in the Peerless family, designed for long-distance field measurement in trade and construction applications. The steel blade carries a Chrome Clad and Yellow Clad finish for corrosion resistance and high visibility in outdoor conditions. At 0.25 inches wide with a Style E1 blade profile, the tape feeds smoothly across the 4-arm reel frame. The unit weighs 3.7 pounds and stands 1.5 inches in overall height, making it compact relative to its measuring range. SAE graduation means readouts are in standard imperial units, the common requirement on U.S. job sites.

This tape is suited for residential and commercial layout work, land surveying assistance, utility trenching, irrigation runs, and any long linear measurement task where a standard 25-foot or 35-foot pocket tape falls short. The 4-arm open reel design allows rapid rewind and easy blade inspection. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors reaching across large floor plans or lot lines will find the 200-foot capacity sufficient for most single-run measurements without repositioning.

Installation Notes

No power source or lockout procedure is required for tape measure use. On job sites, ensure the blade is fully rewound and the reel is secured before transporting to prevent blade kinking or edge damage. When measuring across uneven terrain or around obstructions, use a second person or a fixed anchor point to maintain blade tension and reading accuracy. Inspect the blade edge and graduation markings periodically, and retire the tape if the blade shows kinks, corrosion through the cladding, or illegible markings.
