Apex OS1293F590N Stainless Steel Tape Blade 50 Ft

Product Description

The APEX OS1293F590N is a stainless steel replacement blade designed for Atlas tape measures, offering a 50-foot blade length in the D4 blade style. Built from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability, this blade is suited for field conditions where moisture and repeated use accelerate wear on standard carbon-steel blades. The blade width measures 0.5 inches, and the overall cassette dimensions are 5.2 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 1.2 inches in height. It is a direct replacement unit intended for professional measurement applications in construction, HVAC layout, plumbing rough-in, and general trade work.

This replacement blade is used when the original tape blade in an Atlas reel-style tape measure becomes worn, kinked, or damaged. The D4 blade style designation identifies the specific blade profile and cassette format required for proper fitment. Trade professionals across multiple disciplines rely on accurate 50-foot tapes for long-run measurements, including ductwork layout, pipe runs, and structural framing. Replacing only the blade extends the service life of the tape housing and reduces replacement cost compared to purchasing a complete tape measure assembly.

Key Features

• Stainless steel blade construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 50-foot blade length for long-run layout and measurement tasks
• D4 blade style cassette format for correct fitment in compatible Atlas tape reels
• 0.5-inch blade width for standard readability and blade rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement blade for Atlas tape measure reels requiring the D4 blade style in a 50-foot length. Verify blade style designation on existing tape housing before ordering.

Installation Notes

Replacement tape blades should be installed by a qualified user following the tape measure manufacturer's instructions for the specific reel housing model. Ensure the old blade is fully retracted and the reel is not under spring tension before disassembly. Improper installation can result in blade ejection or spring-mechanism damage. Refer to the Atlas product documentation for cassette removal and blade seating procedures.
