Mule Pull Tape is a type of pull tape that is specifically designed for the installation of wires and cables through underground conduits. It is made from a strong and durable material, such as fiberglass or nylon, and has a smooth, non-abrasive surface. Mule pull tape is also typically coated with a lubricant to help reduce friction and make it easier to pull through the conduit.
Mule pull tape is available in a variety of lengths and diameters to accommodate different conduit sizes and installation requirements. It is typically used in conjunction with a fish tape to pull the wires or cables through the conduit.
Here are some of the benefits of using mule pull tape:
- It is strong and durable, and can withstand the rigors of underground installation.
- It has a smooth, non-abrasive surface that helps to protect the wires or cables from damage.
- It is coated with a lubricant to reduce friction and make it easier to pull through the conduit.
- It is available in a variety of lengths and diameters to accommodate different conduit sizes and installation requirements.
- It is reusable, making it a cost-effective solution for underground installations.
Here are some of the applications for mule pull tape:
- Installing wires and cables in underground conduits for telecommunications, electrical, and other utilities.
- Installing wires and cables in underground conduits for irrigation systems and other landscaping applications.
- Installing wires and cables in underground conduits for drainage systems and other construction applications.
How to use mule pull tape:
- Attach the mule pull tape to the wires or cables that you need to install.
- Thread the mule pull tape through the conduit.
- Use a fish tape to pull the mule pull tape and wires or cables through the conduit.
- Once the wires or cables are in place, remove the mule pull tape.
Safety precautions when using mule pull tape:
- Always wear safety glasses and gloves when handling mule pull tape.
- Be careful not to over-tighten the mule pull tape, as this can damage the wires or cables.
- Avoid pulling the mule pull tape too quickly, as this can also damage the wires or cables.
