Ideal 31-849 Polypropylene Pull Rope 250 Ft 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The IDEAL 31-849 is a 250-foot polypropylene pull rope rated for a 466-pound maximum working load. Built for wire and cable pulling in conduit runs, it provides a lightweight, high-strength solution for electricians and low-voltage installers working in commercial and residential applications. The 1/2-inch diameter offers a confident grip and pulls smoothly through bends in conduit systems. With a breaking strength of 3,780 pounds, the rope carries a substantial safety margin over its working load rating. Polypropylene construction resists moisture, most chemicals, and UV exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor pull applications.

This rope is used primarily for pulling wire and cable through conduit and raceways. It is well suited for electrical rough-in work on new construction and retrofit projects where long conduit runs require a durable, reliable pull line. At 250 feet, a single coil handles most standard commercial conduit runs without the need to splice multiple shorter lengths together. It is also used as a messenger line for heavier pull tapes or Kellems grips on larger conductor bundles.

Key Features

• 466-pound maximum working load supports demanding wire and cable pulls
• 3,780-pound breaking strength provides a wide safety margin
• 1/2-inch diameter fits standard pull-rope grips and conduit fittings
• 250-foot length handles long conduit runs in a single piece
• Polypropylene construction resists moisture, chemicals, and UV degradation
• Lightweight material reduces fatigue during extended pulling operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose pull rope for use in electrical conduit systems, wire management applications, and utility pulling tasks requiring a 1/2-inch diameter polypropylene line.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage technicians following NEC guidelines for wire and cable pulling. Inspect the rope before each use for cuts, fraying, or abrasion damage and retire any rope showing visible wear. Do not exceed the rated 466-pound working load during any pull. When pulling through conduit, use appropriate conduit lubricant on the wire or cable being pulled to reduce friction and protect both the conductors and the rope.
