Apex FM100CME Fiberglass Tape Measure 328 Ft Metric

Product Description

The APEX FM100CME is a long-range fiberglass tape measure designed for layout and measurement work across large job sites. The tape features a 328-foot fiberglass blade that resists stretching and corrosion, making it well-suited for outdoor use where steel tapes would be prone to rust or thermal expansion errors. At 0.5 inches wide, the blade offers a stable reading surface while remaining lightweight in the hand. The C4 blade style indicates a four-arm reel configuration, which distributes winding load evenly and reduces blade fatigue over repeated use. Metric graduation supports applications where metric measurement is required. Licensed trades and survey crews working on large installations or utility runs are the primary users.

This tape measure is suited for commercial and residential applications requiring extended reach beyond standard 25-foot or 100-foot tapes. Typical install and layout scenarios include underground utility marking, large-slab layout, landscape grading, and long-run conduit or pipe routing. The four-arm reel design handles repeated full-spool deployment on open terrain. The fiberglass blade construction makes it appropriate for use near electrical hazards where a conductive steel tape would present a safety concern.

Key Features

• 328-foot fiberglass blade resists corrosion, stretching, and electrical conductivity
• C4 four-arm reel distributes winding tension evenly across the spool
• 0.5-inch blade width provides a clear, stable measurement surface
• Metric graduation for applications requiring metric layout
• Compact tape box at 13 inches long and 9 inches wide for field portability
• Fiberglass construction appropriate for use in wet or electrically sensitive environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard long-range fiberglass tape measure suitable for general layout, survey, and utility installation work across trade applications.

Installation Notes

Long-range fiberglass tape measures are typically used by HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction crews for layout and rough-in measurement. Before deploying the full tape length, confirm the path is clear of sharp edges that could nick or kink the blade. When working near energized equipment, verify the blade is fiberglass throughout and that no metal fittings contact live conductors. Rewind the tape evenly using the four-arm reel to prevent blade creasing or uneven tension on the spool.
