Milwaukee 48-13-7249 Bellhanger Bit 1/2 X 18 Inches

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-13-7249 is a bellhanger bit designed for drilling through wood framing, studs, and structural members to route low-voltage wiring, conduit, and flexible pipe. At 1/2 inch in diameter and 18 inches in length, it gives electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers the reach needed to bore through multiple framing members in a single pass. This bit is sold in a package of 6 units, making it a practical choice for job-site stocking. It is compatible with standard 1/2 inch drill chucks and is built for repeated use in production drilling applications.

Bellhanger bits are a standard tool on residential and light commercial installations where wiring, low-voltage cable, or small-diameter tubing must pass through wood framing. Typical applications include speaker and security wiring runs, HVAC control wiring, plumbing supply rough-in, and similar trades work requiring clean through-bores in tight spaces. The 18-inch length is well suited for drilling through double top plates or staggered stud walls without repositioning.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by electricians, low-voltage technicians, HVAC installers, and plumbers during rough-in framing stages. Use with a drill rated for the bit diameter and length to avoid torque-related injury if the bit binds. Always confirm there are no hidden utilities, pipes, or existing wiring in the framing path before drilling. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable NEC or IFGC clearance requirements when routing wiring or pipe through structural members.
