Apex FE050D Fiberglass Tape Measure 50 Ft Sae

Product Description

The APEX FE050D is a 50-foot fiberglass tape measure designed for field measurements in trade and construction applications. The blade is constructed from fiberglass, making it resistant to moisture, kinking, and the wear that steel blades can suffer in wet or chemically active environments. At 0.5 inches wide with a C2 blade style, it delivers a flat, stable lay for accurate linear readings. The tape follows SAE measurement standards. Four arms support the housing frame, contributing to a durable, balanced build suited to daily job-site use by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors.

This tape measure is well suited for residential and light commercial applications where repeated layout, pipe run measurement, duct routing, or conduit planning is required. The fiberglass blade is particularly practical in environments where metal tapes pose a conductivity or corrosion concern, such as near energized panels or in wet mechanical rooms. It functions as a standalone measuring tool requiring no special power source or calibration equipment, and it is packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• 50-foot fiberglass blade for extended linear measurement in the field
• SAE graduation standard for compatibility with standard trade dimensions
• C2 blade style provides a flat profile for accurate, stable readings
• 0.5-inch blade width for easy handling and consistent tape lay
• Fiberglass construction resists moisture, corrosion, and conductivity concerns near electrical equipment
• Four-arm housing frame for structural support and durability

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fiberglass tape measure for trade professionals requiring SAE-standard linear measurement in field, mechanical, or construction environments.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store the tape reeled fully into the housing when not in use to prevent blade damage or tangling. Avoid pulling the blade past its rated 50-foot extension to preserve the rewind mechanism. Keep the housing clear of debris that could interfere with smooth blade retraction.
