Apex FE300 Fiberglass Tape Measure 300 Ft Sae

Product Description

The APEX FE300 is a 300-foot fiberglass tape measure designed for long-distance layout and measurement tasks in construction, utility, and trade service work. The blade is made from fiberglass, which resists stretching and moisture better than steel in outdoor or wet environments. At 0.5 inches wide with a C1 blade style, it feeds and rewinds smoothly through conduit runs, trench layouts, and surface measurements. The unit uses SAE graduations and is sold individually. Weighing 2.8 pounds, it is built for repeated daily use on job sites.

This tape measure is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors who need accurate long-run measurements. Common applications include measuring conduit runs, pipe layouts, equipment setback distances, and site surveys. The 300-foot capacity reduces the need to reposition or chain measurements on longer runs, making it practical for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor job sites.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Lay the tape flat and taut against the surface for accurate readings — avoid kinking or coiling the blade under tension. Reel the blade back in slowly to prevent tangling. Inspect the blade periodically for fraying or damage that could affect measurement accuracy.
