Bes bell3824h Bellhanger Drill Bit 3/8 X 24 Inch Hss

Product Description

The BES bell3824h is a bellhanger drill bit designed for electricians, low-voltage technicians, and HVAC installers who need to bore through wall cavities, framing members, and structural bays to route wire, cable, or tubing. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS), the bit measures 3/8 inch in diameter and 24 inches in length. It features a fish hole near the tip, allowing a pull wire or fish tape to be threaded directly through the bit after the hole is drilled, eliminating a separate fishing step and speeding up rough-in work in finished or semi-finished spaces.

This bit is a standard tool in residential and light commercial rough-in work wherever wire or cable must be routed through wood framing, fire blocking, or similar substrates. Typical applications include bell wiring, low-voltage cabling, coax, thermostat wire, and HVAC control wiring runs. The 24-inch length provides the reach needed to penetrate multiple framing members or deep structural assemblies from a single access point without repositioning.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability through repeated use in wood framing
• 3/8 inch diameter — sized for standard wire and cable pass-through applications
• 24 inch length provides extended reach through deep framing assemblies
• Fish hole near the bit tip allows pull wire to be threaded immediately after drilling
• Feeler bit design aids in locating and penetrating hidden cavities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard bellhanger-style drill bit suitable for use with common 3/8 inch chuck corded or cordless drills used in electrical, low-voltage, and HVAC control wiring rough-in applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is typically used by electricians, low-voltage installers, and HVAC technicians during rough-in before drywall or finish work. Confirm that power to all circuits in the work area is off before drilling near existing wiring. Follow NEC guidelines for drilling clearances in framing members, and observe local building codes regarding fire blocking and penetration sealing requirements. Use appropriate eye protection when drilling overhead or into wall cavities.
