Our Muletape® is the original, trademarked pulling tape—engineered for low-elongation safety, integrated silicone lubrication, accurate footage markings, and splice-free lengths to deliver faster, safer cable pulls with lower total cost.
For over 50 years, Muletape® has set the benchmark for safe, efficient underground cable installation. As the original, trademarked pulling tape, it delivers virtually no shrink and ultra-low stretch reliability (low-elongation) that reduces snap-back risk, protects cable jackets, and keeps crews productive. With integrated silicone lubrication (~3%), pre-marked footage, and long splice-free lengths, Muletape® isn’t a commodity—it's an engineered system built for the realities of conduit work.
Explore the Muletape® Selection Guide to choose the right break strength (200–6,000 lb) for your route, conduit, and cable.
Tight bends, long runs, and rough conduit benefit from extra lubrication. Muleglide™—the same silicone chemistry used on Muletape®—further reduces pulling force and mess versus soap-based products. Independent field trials showed ~2× faster pulls, ~50% less force, and ~50% less lubricant than a water-based competitor on a controlled route with multiple bends.

Q1. What Muletape® strength do I need?
Use the Selection Guide to match route, bends, conduit,
and cable weight. When in doubt, size up for safety.
Q2. Can I blow/vacuum Muletape® through conduit?
Yes. The flat, lightweight profile blows or vacuums quickly and cleanly with standard mice.
Q3. Is Muletape® already lubricated—and can I add Muleglide™?
Yes—Muletape® has integrated silicone lubrication (~3%). Add Muleglide™ for long runs
or tight geometry to further reduce force and jacket wear.
Q4. Will Muletape® stretch or snap back like rope?
Muletape® is low-elongation to minimize snap-back energy and improve crew safety.
Q5. How accurate are the footage markings?
Designed for reliable footage tracking, reducing waste and rework.
Q6. Are reels splice-free?
Yes—long, splice-free lengths reduce mid-pull failures.
Q7. How does Muletape® handle heat and duct burn?
The flat profile + silicone lubrication help distribute heat and reduce burn-through risk.
Q8. Can I reuse Muletape®?
For safety and performance, treat Muletape® as single-use.
