Blimy, the camera work was a bit harsh in he 1st half of the video.. Made me sea sick.. In the UK the yellow haul cord is usually insered as the duct is laid. No messing around blowing refuse bags along the duct and hoping for the best.
There is no hoping for the best, if always works or at least it does with me. It takes too damn long and its aggravating to do that with each and every peice of pipe, thats what inexperienced home owners do.
I'm guessing the underground conduit is PVC. I'm just wondering how the steel cable does around 90s? Seems it would dig into the pvc and create damage. Anyone?
Doesn't really damage it, some minor scarring might take place but that's it. There are 2 different types of electrical grade conduit that are used, it isn't the same type of pvc conduit that you might see used for landscaping or plumbing.
@@michaeleverest3487 yeah sch 40 and 80 I know. Even those are no match for a thick steel cable with tension rubbing against. I bet its pvc coated GRC the whole run?
@@cashmoney6994 I realize your comment is 3+ years old but I wanted to give you some additional info. The amount of time it takes to burn through a 90 depends on the distance the pull is, the size of the wire, the size of the conduit, and how many 90's there are in the run (not counting the two 90's at either ends). More turns equals more friction which obviously makes it harder to pull. Lube helps but it's not a guarantee the conduit will stay intact. I was working a solar field last year pulling wire and terminating. 1/0 getting pulled 500+ feet with a wire tugger (steel cable) through 3" sch 40 and multiple turns in the run was a guarantee the 90 at the receiving end would get messed up. Lube also didn't help any significant amount so yeah... TLDR: Yes, you can burn through the conduit. Depends on distance, wire size, conduit size, and how many turns are in the run.
Very simple & detailed explanation, most people should be able to better understand.
We call the “snorkel” an elephant trunk. Because it looks like and elephant trunk
Very good video
Nice how they do underground networks

Nope, no one has ever been electrocuted. The electric chair is also fake.
