The Fish-Eze kit is designed for
installing wires through headers (door or window) and up into attics
in a fast and efficient way. This tool eliminates the most difficult
step of fishing wire through these difficult structures by using a
unique combination of tubes and spring wire to push wire through the
header. The memory coiled wire will coil into the attic, eliminating
the need to support the wire from below. This eliminates the need
for a second installer performing this function as you retrieve your
wire in the attic.
Kit
Includes:
●
A 24” small diameter (less than 1/4”)
stainless steel tube in fiberglass storage housing (for 8ft.
ceilings).
●
A 36” small diameter (less than 1/4”)
stainless steel tube in fiberglass storage housing (for 9ft.
ceilings).
●
A 12ft. memory coiled wire with
eyelets at both ends in circular case.
Installers Tip:
To use the Fish-Eze Kit, first use a
stud locator and determine the desired hole position in the header.
Next, use a very sharp 1/4" drill bit (to avoid drill bit drift or
“walking”, we suggest the Spear-Zit directional drill bit) and begin
the drilling process. When the drilling is finished, remove the
drill bit from the header hole and insert the appropriate length
tube. The tube will enter through the header and will hit the hole
in the top plate. Next, while holding the tube in place, insert the
Fish-Eze wire into and through the tube, leaving roughly 12" to 18"
below the header, remove the tube, and attach the wiring to be
pulled to the spring wire.
Next, take your Grabbit™ telescoping pole (or retrieving tool) with
a J-tip or hook and go to the attic access point. Then reach the
retrieving tool to the Fish-Eze wire and pull it back to you. The
Fish-Eze wire will unwind as you bring it back. Then take the Fish-Eze
wire by hand and pull until your wiring arrives.
