Apex FE200 Fiberglass Tape Measure 200 Ft

Product Description

The APEX FE200 is a fiberglass open-reel tape measure designed for field layout, site measurement, and long-distance linear measurement tasks common in construction, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-in work. The tape runs 200 feet in length with a blade width of 0.5 inches, wound in a C1 blade style onto a four-arm open reel frame. Fiberglass construction resists moisture, kinking, and the chemical exposure typical of job-site environments. At 2 pounds, the unit is light enough for one-person carry while covering long measurement runs without resetting.

This tape is suited for residential and light commercial applications where extended linear measurements are required. Typical uses include laying out irrigation lines, underground conduit runs, sewer laterals, and HVAC duct routing in new construction or renovation. The SAE graduation standard makes it compatible with standard imperial plan dimensions used across North American trade work. The four-arm reel frame allows for controlled retrieval and stable coiling during rewind.

Key Features

• 200-foot fiberglass blade for extended linear measurement without repositioning
• 0.5-inch blade width in C1 style for smooth feed and consistent lay-flat performance
• Fiberglass material resists moisture, chemicals, and kinking compared to steel blades
• SAE graduation for direct use with imperial construction drawings and specifications
• Four-arm open reel frame at 17.2 inches long and 11.9 inches wide for stable handling and storage
• Lightweight at 2 pounds for field portability across large job sites

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose SAE fiberglass open-reel tape measure suitable for trade layout and measurement tasks in construction, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Before use on energized electrical work, confirm the fiberglass blade is rated for the voltage environment per applicable NEC guidelines, as fiberglass tapes are commonly selected for non-conductive measurement near live circuits. Keep the blade clean and dry to maintain graduation legibility. Avoid dragging the blade over sharp edges or abrasive surfaces that may fray or obscure the printed scale.
