Handheld Push-Pull Hooks

J-Hook

Tug and guide loads into position from a distance. These hooks give you extra reach into tight spots. They’re lightweight enough to use overhead, yet durable enough to withstand drops and bumps.

J-Hook—J-hooks are made of fiberglass, so they won’t conduct electricity. They’re shaped to push against flat surfaces and hook around square or round parts of your equipment. The handle is textured for slip resistance.

Nonconductive Fish Tape for Long Runs

Thicker than standard fish tape, this fiberglass tape remains stiff along its entire length for long runs of conduit and raceway. It’s nonconductive, so it’s safer to use around energized equipment than metal fish tape. Attach your wire to the tape and fish it through. Round and flexible, this tape handles making multiple bends in different directions. It’s also known as conduit rodder.

1/8" Diameter Tape	3/16" Diameter Tape

Safer to use around energized equipment than other types of fish tape, this fiberglass tape is also round, making it more flexible than flat and oval tape to pull wire through multiple bends. Attach your wire to the tape and push it through conduit and raceway.

1/8" Diameter Tape—_1/8" dia. tape comes with leaders that help guide the tape through conduit bends. It also includes replacement parts and adhesive, which can be used to repair the tape.

Wire and Cable Push-Pull Rods


Eyelet Rod End	Hook Rod End

Route wire and cable outside of conduit in drop ceilings and behind walls. Made of nonconductive fiberglass, these rods are safer to use around energized equipment than metal rods. They glow in the dark for good visibility. The smaller the rod diameter, the more flexible the rod and the better its ability to make tight bends.
