ELECTRICAL
Electric Wire Through Conduit

To get electrical wire through a conduit more than 25 yards long, tie carpenter's string to a torn-off piece of a plastic bag. In one end of the conduit, poke the plastic bag with the string tied to it inside and at the other end of the conduit, use a shop-vac or large vacuum cleaner to suck the plastic bag through the conduit. It will surprise you how fast the string will be sucked through the conduit. Then, tie a heavy electric pull rope on the string and pull that through. Then, wrap and tie the rope to the electric wire and pull that through. Works every time. I used it on a baseball score board that was over 600 ft. We pulled no. 8 wire through 2 1/2 inch conduit with no trouble at all.
