Greenlee RS438W-100 Steel Replacement Fish Tape 100 Ft

Product Description

The GREENLEE RS438W-100 is a steel replacement fish tape designed for pulling wire and cable through conduit runs in residential and commercial electrical installations. This 100-foot tape provides electricians with a durable, ready-to-spool replacement when an existing reel body is still serviceable but the tape itself is worn, kinked, or broken. Steel construction delivers the stiffness and column strength needed to push through long conduit runs and around bends without buckling. At 5.61 pounds, the tape is substantial enough for demanding job-site use while remaining manageable for overhead or confined-space pulls.

This replacement tape is suited for electrical rough-in and finish work where conduit fishing is a routine task. Electricians and wiremen working on new construction, tenant improvement, or retrofit projects will find it a cost-effective way to restore a Greenlee fish tape reel to full service without replacing the entire assembly. It fits the corresponding Greenlee reel designed for the RS438W series and is appropriate for use in EMT, rigid, and IMC conduit applications.

Key Features

• 100-foot steel tape provides reach for long conduit runs in commercial and residential work
• Steel construction resists kinking and maintains pushability through bends and offsets
• Replacement-only design extends the service life of a compatible Greenlee reel body
• Ready to install on the matching reel without additional hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tape for compatible Greenlee fish tape reel assemblies in the RS438W series. Verify reel model compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of this replacement tape should be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with Greenlee reel service procedures. Ensure the reel is fully unwound and tension is released before removing the old tape. Follow the reel manufacturer's loading instructions to seat the new tape properly and avoid improper spooling that could cause binding or kinking during use. Always de-energize circuits in the conduit being fished before beginning any wire-pull operation, in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout requirements.
