THE PULLING ELBOW™

The Pulling Elbow™


NEW  Time Saving Patented Tool

The Pulling Elbow™ allows you to pull cable safely around corners.

6" Radius allows one man to pull cables around a corner, while protecting CAT5 and CAT6 cables from being bent to the point that they won't run at full speed.

• 2" Smooth Pulling Tunnel for running cables has a slot so the cables can be removed after you go around the corner.

11.5" by 11.5"  "L" Shaped
Heavy Duty ABS Plastic Tool.

• Pulling Tunnel holds up to 25, CAT5 / CAT6 or up to 5, 25 Pair Cables.

• Lots of Holes for Easy Mounting with Tie Wraps, Scrap Wire, Beam Clamps or Screws.

 
  

Feed cable from boxes
straight up into

If there's no
easy way to
run the cable
in the direction you want...


Make it easy on yourself by using
The Pulling Elbow™
There are some jobs where leaving it in the ceiling is the cheapest way to go!

NOTE: Use a single 14" Tie Wrap, or put two  8" Tie Wraps together to close the ends of the Tunnel.

Each end of the Tunnel has a convenient slot to hold a standard width Tie Wrap.

Just snip the Tie Wraps at the two ends of the Tunnel to remove the cables, or leave The Pulling Elbow™ in the ceiling.

If you're using more than one Pulling Elbow™ to go around two or more corners (at once), you'll probably need someone paying out the cable from the boxes to help you.

Use our Extra Heavy Duty Black 18" Tie Wraps (below) for easy mounting!

Tie Wraps and Tie Wrap Mounts

I personally only use
Telephone Gray Tie Wraps
when building a frame (to match
the wire color),  but we also have
Black and Natural Tie Wraps
 




All of our Tie Wraps and Mounts
are made right here in the Chicago area!
 


Some Tie Wrap Facts:

  • Tie Wraps shouldn't be left in the sun (like on a dashboard or seat). The nylon material will dry out, making the Tie Wrap brittle and break when it's tightened. You can fix dried out Tie Wraps by putting a few drops of water in the bag and sealing it. They nylon will absorb the moisture, and the Tie Wrap will be good as new.
     

  • Tie Wraps will dry out  if left in an opened bag. Use them up, or put a couple of drops of water in the bag and reseal it. Clear packing tape works OK. Seal it well so it's air tight.
     

  • Tie Wraps shouldn't be left in freezing weather. The moisture in the nylon will create microscopic cracks that will permanently damage the Tie Wrap. They'll be more likely to break when tightened.
     

  • All of our Tie Wraps are packed in bags of 100 even if we sell them in 500 quantity, since you don't want to open a bag and have it laying around, drying out. Work out of one bag as much as possible!
     

  • It's best to use Telephone Gray or Black Tie Wraps outside. They are UV resistant, and are better than Natural outside.
     

  • Once a Tie Wrap is tightened on cable (indoors, that doesn't move), the Tie Wrap will dry out but hold the cable just fine since there's no motion. Don't over tighten the Tie Wrap, which will deform the cable.
     

  • Use our Velcro Tie Wraps on CAT5 or CAT6 cable, since deforming data cable can effect Ethernet speeds (voice usually doesn't care unless you get crazy tightening the Tie Wrap).

Teflon Tie Wraps

Teflon Tie Wraps are Required  in Air Plenum Return Ceilings

When standard Tie Wraps burn, they lot off toxic gas. If they're in a ceiling that's used for the air return on the HVAC system (where the returns aren't ducted), they will distribute the toxic gas to other spaces that aren't on fire, where the people will die (even though there's no fire). You would use Teflon cable in air plenum return ceilings, for the same reason.

Teflon doesn't let off toxic gas when it's burned, so it's safe to use in the plenum return to bundle cables. You don't want to use in premises with a ducted return, since they're incredibly expensive!

15'  FIBERGLASS  1/4" FISH TAPE

 

Super Light  15" Fiberglass Fish Tape

Goes STRAIGHT up or Down a Wall!


   12" diameter PVC case is both light and easy to carry

Small enough to carry in your luggage for out-of town jobs!

The SECRET is that it's made exactly like a 1/4" Steel Fish Tape...

1/4" Wide  and  1/8" Thick!

1/4" Wide

1/8" Thick




Feed the flat 1/4" section  up or down the wall (facing you) until
you hit the header or floor, then fish the included 8" chain  (with a
ring to tie the cable onto) out of the hole.

The 1/4" Fiberglass Fish goes straight up or down - it doesn't go
off to the side and get lost in the wall!



Makes fishing walls a quick and easy one-man job.

8" Ball Chain with a Cable Ring on one end, and a Bullet Nose with a Hole on the other end.

It's definitely  the fastest and easiest way to fish an insulated wall, or fish a stubbed pipe!

A little history:

Although phone men have been trying to fish both insulated and un-insulated walls with 1/8" fish tapes for years, they quickly found that the fish would simply coil up inside the wall, and pretty much never come out. That's because the 1/8" fish retains it's coiled memory, so it coils up inside the wall just like it did when it was stored.

In the early 1980's Harris Seltzer, a phone man I worked with at General Dynamics, showed me the magic of the 1/4" fish. It's twice as wide as the regular 1/8" fish (the 1/8" fish was made for fishing pipes, not fishing walls). The extra width and weight of the 1/4" fish helps it to stay flat after it's uncoiled (unlike the 1/8" fish). The extra width means you can feed the fish out along on a suspended ceiling and it will go straight... and  you can fish either up or down a wall - and the fish goes straight up or down.

The problem with the 1/4" steel fish was that it was difficult to uncoil and the coil back up, and it's heavy. A new technology has allowed a 1/4" Fiberglass Fish to be made with all of the benefits of a steel fish - and none of the drawbacks!

It's light, easy to carry, easy to coil and uncoil from its PVC case, and there's no oil or rust to come off on your hands.

Try one today!   Like all of our products, there's a 30 Day Moneyback Guarantee.

NOTE:  The unique 1/4" by 1/8" fiberglass material, which is why this fish goes straight up or down in the wall, is made in Australia. The price of this fish is now quite a bit higher than it was in the past because of the US dollar losing value to the Australian dollar. We have to pay them more US dollars now, in order for them to get the same value in Australian dollars.

Noodle Fish Chain

The World's Best Fish Chain!

10 feet long!   Fish up and down walls. For non-insulated, paper, or foil backed walls.

This fish chain doesn't tangle... It's a special super strong thin ball chain that will slither thru most anything... and then back into its Shirt Pocket Pouch.

To use it, tie the wire on through a small hole at the end of the chain.  Then just drop it down the wall (the large ring on the end prevents it from dropping through a 7/8 inch hole in the header), make a 3/8" hole where you want to pull the wire out for the jack, stick the Magnetic Retriever in, and wiggle it around. The Noodle Fish Chain globs onto the magnet and you pull it out of the wall!

If the drywall is mushroomed into the wall, use our 9" Hook Wire (below) to grab the chain off the magnet!
