Lufkin PHV1316N Tape Measure 16 Foot 3/4 Inch Blade

Product Description

The LUFKIN PHV1316N is a 16-foot steel-blade tape measure built for trade use on job sites where accuracy and durability matter. The blade is 3/4 inches wide with a yellow finish and clear coating, graduated in 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch increments for precise layout work. The ABS and steel case features an ergonomic overmold design that improves grip and resists impact during daily use. A reinforced quad-rivet end hook keeps the hook secured to the blade under heavy pull, and a top-mounted toggle lock holds the blade in position while marking or cutting.

The PHV1316N suits residential and commercial construction, mechanical trades, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC equipment installation where consistent linear measurements are required. The 16-foot length covers standard stud spacing, duct runs, pipe layouts, and panel clearance checks. The integrated belt clip keeps the tape accessible on the tool belt without a separate holster. This model is appropriate for carpenters, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors who need a compact, reliable measuring tool on the job.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before use, inspect the end hook for play and verify hook rivets are tight, as a loose hook introduces measurement error equal to its slop. When measuring duct, pipe, or conduit runs near energized equipment, follow applicable NEC or trade-specific lockout procedures before reaching into confined spaces. Store the tape retracted and away from solvents that may degrade the ABS case or blade coating.
