Apex PHV1048CMN Power Tape Measure 26 Ft Steel Blade

Product Description

The APEX PHV1048CMN is a 26-foot steel-blade power tape measure designed for job-site use by trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction. The A9-style blade features a clearcoat finish that resists corrosion and extends blade life in demanding field conditions. At 1 inch wide, the blade provides enough rigidity for extended reach measuring, with a rated standout of 10 feet. The locking mechanism holds the blade in position during marking and layout work. The housing measures 7.1 inches long by 4.6 inches wide by 1.7 inches tall, keeping it compact enough for a tool belt or pouch.

This tape measure is suited for residential and commercial job sites where both standard and metric measurements are required. The metric measurement capability makes it appropriate for work on equipment with metric specifications, including imported HVAC units and plumbing fixtures. The 10-foot standout allows single-person measurement on typical duct runs, pipe spans, and rough-in dimensions without a second set of hands.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or cracks before use, as a damaged blade can retract unexpectedly. Allow the blade to retract slowly and under control to avoid edge injuries and to preserve blade finish. Store away from moisture and solvents to maintain the clearcoat finish and blade legibility.
