Ecm Industries Llc EFT-15 Steel Mini Fish Tape 15 Feet

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC EFT-15 is a compact, 15-foot steel mini fish tape designed for pulling wire and cable through walls, ceilings, and conduit over short runs. The tape is made from low-memory steel, which resists curling during extension and retraction — a common problem with cheaper tapes that slows down the job. At 2.25 pounds, the tool stays light enough for one-handed use in tight spaces. Electricians and low-voltage installers reach for this tape when working in finished structures where a full-size fish tape would be overkill or too stiff to navigate.

This fish tape is suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where short cable runs are common. It handles electrical wire, speaker wire, network cable, and low-voltage signal cable through interior wall cavities, ceiling spaces, and conduit. Typical applications include new outlet boxes, light fixture rough-in, doorbell wiring, audio distribution, datacom drops, and security system wiring. Its compact form factor makes it especially practical when working in confined spaces like junction boxes or tight wall cavities where a larger drum-style tape cannot maneuver.

Key Features

• Low-memory steel tape resists curling during extension for consistent, straight feeding
• 15-foot length targets short-run installs in walls and ceilings without excess tape bulk
• Compact, lightweight build at 2.25 pounds for easy one-handed operation
• Compatible with conduit pulls and free-air fishing through existing structures
• Suitable for electrical wire, speaker wire, network cable, and low-voltage applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with electrical wire, speaker wire, and network cable on short runs through wall cavities, ceilings, and conduit in residential and light commercial installations.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians working within the scope of NEC requirements. Always de-energize circuits in the work area before fishing wire near existing conductors. Feed the tape slowly through conduit or wall cavities to avoid kinking; do not force the tape around sharp bends beyond its rated flexibility. After use, retract the tape fully to preserve its low-memory steel properties and prevent set curls from forming during storage.
