Pull Cable Through Conduit

It comes in a few different forms and reduces the coefficient of friction between wires and conduits to help minimize damage to the wire insulation or cable jackets and make pulling smoother safer and faster.

Pull cable through conduit. Also note that nm cable is not rated for outdoor or wet applications. From the beginning of the wall conduit pull the fish tape slowly and carefully pull the cable until it reach to the wall opening. Method 3 pull the pull wire through the conduit. The first extra wire is to replace the wire being used as a pull string and the second is to be left in the conduit as a pull string for possible later use.

Pull the rod back through the conduit bringing along the wires. If there is already another wire or cable inside the conduit then it is often simpler to disconnect it and use it as the pull string. Connect the new wires plus two wires. Position your box of wire so that it will freely leave the box and will enter freely.

From a attic a basement or a crawl space an electrical tape is used to fix one end of the cable on a hook on a fish belt. Fishing weight step 1 tie a thin heavy fishing weight onto the end of the wires with string or fishing line. The easiest way to pull the cable is to use an electrical or mechanical pulling tool to assist the pull into the conduit. Secure the end with tape as you did with the pull wire.

Also cable is difficult to pull through conduit due to the cable s size and the sheathing so running cable in conduit typically is limited to very short runs that do not require standard wire pulling techniques. Step 6 pull the wire through the conduit. It is never permissible to run nm cable outdoors or in. This method works best for shorter pieces of conduit.

Pull wire through wall conduit. Make a loop in the feed cable the same size as the one in the pull wire. Feed the end of the wire or cable through the loop you made in the pull wire. Allow the fishing weight to have a 2 to 3 inch lead in front of the wires.
