Bes bell3818h Bell Hanger Drill Bit 3/8 X 18 Inch

Product Description

The BES bell3818h is a bell hanger's drill bit engineered for drilling through wood and steel during wire installation work. The bit measures 3/8 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length, giving electricians and low-voltage installers the reach needed to bore through wall framing, floor joists, and steel studs in a single pass. The through-hole design at the tip allows a fish tape or pull wire to be threaded directly through the bit, streamlining cable and wire routing without a separate fishing step. This is a working-trade tool built for repetitive use in residential and commercial rough-in applications.

The bell3818h is suited for electricians, alarm and security installers, and low-voltage technicians running wire through wood-frame and light-gauge steel construction. Typical applications include pulling electrical cable, telephone wire, coaxial cable, and data cabling through wall cavities and floor assemblies. The 18-inch length accommodates standard framing depths and multi-layer assemblies common in both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage technicians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Ensure the drill chuck is securely tightened before drilling and confirm bit alignment before applying pressure through steel members.
