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.

4 Hours • VHS • 2 Tape Set

Whether you've been doing this for 2 weeks or 20 years...If this is what you do for a living, a few dollars and some time watching our 4 Hour Training Video could save you years of time, and you'll get home in time for dinner!

We show you the fastest and easiest ways to run wire, and a lot more in this 2 tape set.

When I started over 30 years ago, I used to feed a fish tape into an insulated wall, figuring that it had to come out eventually? 50 feet later it usually still wasn't out, so I'd try it again. Regular fish tapes are made coiled at the factory, so they coil in the wall as you feed them in - and they usually don't come out where you want them to!

I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was after I learned these techniques!

Some of the Dozens of Topics Covered:

6 Hours • VHS • 3 Tape Set

Watch Mike Sandman Install 4 KSUs!

This is as close as it gets to working with a Journeyman while he builds the frames for four different phone systems - but this Journeyman gives you tons of tips as he goes. An Apprentice can get years of experience building frames... In 6 Hours of Training!

A Training Video is actually better than working with a Journeyman, who's not going to stop and explain stuff to you. If you didn't understand something just hit the REWIND button, and watch it over as many times as you need to.

Grab some cable and blocks, and practice as you watch this tape.

You should be able to go out and install
a phone system after watching this tape!

NOTE: This tape doesn't include programming information, so you'll
have to know how to program the system you install.

4 Phone Systems are Installed:

The customer bought a new fully modular phone system, which we install from scratch.

Then he upgraded to a system with modular jacks for the COs, but an AMP connector (25 pair) for the stations.

Then he upgraded to an Altigen PC based phone system, which uses a special 25 pair connector for both the COs and stations.

Finally, the customer upgrades to a 3Com NBX IP based phone system, where the COs and T1 connect with modular jacks, and the stations connect to a 19" rack mounted Ethernet hub or switch and patch panel, just like PC workstations.
