Description
Yato fish tape 30 m (YT-25015) is a draw spring wound on a reel, used to pull cables and wires into conduits, flexible installation tubes and cable ducts. The spring is first pushed through the empty conduit, then the cable is attached to its end and pulled back.
The working part is made of PVC-coated fibreglass. The diameter of the working part is 4 mm and the working length is 30 m.
The spring is kept on a storage reel whose frame and handle are made of ABS plastic. The reel keeps the long spring under control during use and in storage.
The end of the spring has a profiled eyelet tip, joined to the spring with a threaded copper end. The reel has no brake, so feeding the spring out and in is controlled by hand.
Intended use and suitability:
The fish tape is intended for pulling wires and cables through enclosed routes.
- Electrical installations: pulling wires into conduits and flexible installation tubes in new-build and renovation projects.
- Telecommunications: pulling telephone and antenna cables through conduit routes.
- Data networks: pulling network cables into cable ducts and conduits.

Yato fish tape instructions for use:
1. Feed the spring off the reel and push its end into the start of the conduit. 2. Push the spring forward evenly until the end comes out of the other end of the conduit. 3. Attach the cable or wire firmly to the eyelet tip of the spring and tape the joint smooth. 4. Pull the spring back with even force, winding it onto the reel at the same time. 5. Wipe the spring clean and dry before storage.
Warnings:
Follow these instructions:
- Do not use in live installations; switch off the power before work.
- Do not bend the spring into a sharp kink; damaged fibreglass can break and splinter.
