Apex FE050 Fiberglass Tape Measure 50 Ft Sae

Product Description

The APEX FE050 is a 50-foot fiberglass tape measure built for field measurements in demanding trade environments. The fiberglass blade resists moisture, chemicals, and stretching, making it a reliable choice where steel tapes are prone to corrosion or kinking. The C1 blade style is 0.5 inches wide and runs the full 50-foot length, graduated in SAE increments. At 1.38 pounds, the tape box is compact enough for a tool pouch while remaining sturdy for repeated daily use. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and general contractors reach for fiberglass tapes when working around water, conduit runs, or outdoor layouts where dimensional accuracy over long pulls is critical.

The FE050 suits a wide range of layout and rough-in applications: establishing conduit runs, marking sewer line fall, locating duct transitions, and general site measurement tasks. The 4-arm winding mechanism supports smooth blade retraction and consistent rewind tension. The tape box dimensions are 15 inches in overall length, 9 inches in overall width, and 1.8 inches in overall height, fitting comfortably in a standard tool bag or bucket organizer. This tape is sold as a single unit and is intended for professional trade use where SAE graduation and fiberglass durability are required.

Installation Notes

Fiberglass tapes are non-conductive and appropriate for use near energized equipment when following applicable NFPA 70E safe work practices, though direct contact with live conductors must always be avoided. Extend and retract the blade smoothly to prevent kinking at the blade tip. Store the tape in a clean, dry location to preserve blade markings and winding mechanism performance over time.
