Feeding Cable Through Conduit

Pass the end of the wire or cable through the ring that you make in the wire.

Feeding cable through conduit.

The amount of wire fill inside a conduit must be configured properly to prevent overheating of the wire which is why conduit fill tables are very important. This involves pulling at one end of the run and feeding at the other. Instead connect only one wire directly to the string create one or more loops in this wire 6 8 or more inches down the wire from the connection point. Secure the end with tape as you did with the pull wire.

This will make for a difficult pull through the conduit. Make a loop in the feed cable the same size as the one in the pull wire. A fish tape is a thin sturdy wire inside of a plastic housing and acts like a snake to move through conduit. To start feed fish tape through the flexible conduit until it comes through the opposite end.

Wire is pulled through chases conduit or knockouts to get from the electrical supply to the final destination. Use tape to fix the end like you pull wire. Electrical employees run or pull wire throughout a worksite. Feed the end of the wire or cable through the loop you made in the pull wire.

A ring of the same size as a drawing wire is made in the feed cable. The housing can usually be cranked to feed or reel in the tape. Position your box of wire so that it will freely leave the box and will enter freely into the conduit. This path is usually under the floor or in the ceiling.

Place your wire box so that it is free to leave the box and freely enter the conduit. Lubricating the wires. Step 3 pull the wire through the conduit. Wire pulling compound is a non conductive lubricant in either a gel or a slimy soapy form that makes both the conduit and wires slick by coating the wiring allowing.

Slip any additional wire s several inches into the loop fold over and wrap around the first wire.
