Bes bell1418h Bellhanger Drill Bit 0.25x18 Inches

Product Description

The BES bell1418h is a high-speed steel bellhanger drill bit designed for fishing low-voltage wiring through wall cavities, framing, and structural members. At 0.25 inches in diameter and 18 inches in length, it reaches deep into confined spaces where standard-length bits cannot. A pull-through hole at the tip allows the installer to thread wire directly onto the bit and pull it back through the drilled hole in a single pass. This bit is used by low-voltage installers, electricians, security technicians, and AV contractors who need to route cable without opening walls.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial new construction and retrofit work. It is commonly used when routing speaker wire, alarm cable, Cat5e/Cat6 data cable, coax, or other low-voltage wiring through wood framing, top plates, and bottom plates. The extended 18-inch length makes it especially practical for drilling through staggered or doubled framing members and insulated wall assemblies where reach is limited.

Key Features

• Pull-through hole at the tip enables single-pass wire fishing without additional fish tape
• 18-inch length provides reach through deep framing, top plates, and staggered studs
• 0.25-inch diameter sized for low-voltage cable routing applications
• High-speed steel construction for drilling through softwood and hardwood framing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-duty bellhanger bit compatible with 0.25-inch keyed or keyless drill chucks used in residential and commercial low-voltage installation work.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by low-voltage electricians and communications technicians working under NEC Article 725 or similar low-voltage wiring codes. Always confirm there are no concealed pipes, conduit, or high-voltage wiring in the drilling path before proceeding. Use appropriate PPE including eye protection when drilling overhead or into wall cavities. Thread the pull wire or cable through the tip hole before retracting the bit to complete the pull-through in a single operation.
