Pull Tape
Flat woven polyester pull tape for installing fiber optic, copper, and coaxial cables through underground conduit. Galloway stocks Neptco MULETAPE® and Dura-Line pull tape at regional locations across the US in strengths from 200 to 6,000 lbs.
MULETAPE replaces three traditional products—conduit measuring tape, nylon string, and pulling rope—in a single low-stretch, pre-lubricated tape with sequential footage markings. Available in standard polyester and detectable configurations.
Features
The specs below reflect how the tape is rated: strength quoted three ways — straight pull, knotted loop, and field-tied knot — plus the footage markings and detectable option that let one tape measure and be located, not just pull.
