Apex HW226 Banner Tape Yellow Clad 100 Ft Steel Sae

Product Description

The APEX HW226 is a 100-foot steel blade measuring tape in the Banner family, featuring a Yellow Clad blade finish designed for high-visibility readability in field conditions. The B1 blade style spans 0.375 inches in width and displays SAE (standard inch) graduations, making it a practical layout and measurement tool for trade professionals across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general construction work. The tape housing measures 7.25 inches in length, 6.45 inches in width, and 1.3 inches in height, keeping the overall footprint compact relative to its 100-foot capacity. Total unit weight is 1.6 pounds.

The HW226 is suited for residential and commercial job sites where extended-length measurements are required. The 100-foot reach makes it appropriate for layout work, rough-in measurements, duct runs, pipe runs, conduit routing, and structural layout tasks. The steel blade construction holds its shape over repeated extensions, and the Yellow Clad coating improves blade visibility against concrete, framing, and other low-contrast surfaces commonly encountered on active job sites.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Handle the steel blade with care during full extension to avoid kinks, which can permanently weaken the blade. Retract the blade slowly and under control to prevent snap-back injury. Store the tape in a dry environment to prevent blade corrosion over time.
