The Best way 🤔 to pull Mule tape into a conduit raceway.

The Best way to pull mule tape into a conduit raceway. No matter the size 🤔 This seams to be the fastest way. Master electrician Ron Doyle here on Maryland's Eastern Shore will show you how to speed up your production time in getting it done. This very simple trick of using plastic shopping bags from your local grocery store + a large shop vacuum to, suck it up buttercup 🤠 lol....
In this video I'm installing 5/8 mule tape 1800# test line into a 4" sch.40 pvc 510' primary conduit run, and pulling 65' of mule tape into a 3" sch. 40 secondary conduit run.

I love when us electricians use the bag method. I remember doing a parallel 4” run into a house and the conduits were filled with water and muck. It was a lovely day

Excellent job Ron. Reminds me of my days as an electrician pulling feeders in switch yards. Thanks!

It's too bad that tape spool doesn't have an adjustable tensioner. Great video though.

[@kenskuts]

OMG! Friggin ingenious….! I do electrical design and never knew of this creative method….!!

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Thanks for watching and commenting Ken. This method blows my mind every time I do it!

Great job Ron i remember when I was working using the same method on my wire pulls.the hardest part came when pulling in 500 mcm and 750 copper,up the lifts and into the ceiling.that’s the only thing I miss but really miss working with my guys and the fun we had cutting up on each other.but you gave us another great video on your good work.

Always nice seeing delmarva on TH-cam.

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Thanks for watching Ryan. Now that you mentioned it 🤔 I've only seen one other person doing how to videos on Delmarva's Eastern Shore.

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Do you have a channel?

[@louelectricalcontractingll1620]

I haven't pull mule drag line . Will tried next time. One man show.

[@graciebonsai7272]

Hi Ron, Have you considered adding a wireless remote controlled switch to the vacuum so you can remain by the spool?

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Thanks for watching and commenting. No I haven't, that's an awesome idea. Thanks for the tip 👍🏻👍🏻 it's a good one.

[@GroverSecuritySystems]

job well done Ron ! Thanks for the video!
You may want to spray some WD40 on the plastic bags before. See the difference.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I seen Tom at fate farms do this and it was so cool. I hope one day I can try this. I didn't even know this was a thing.

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

I haven't heard of Fate Farms channel. I'll have to check it out. I know Diesel Creek channel showed this getting power to his new shop. Thanks for the comment. I appreciate you 👍🏻👍🏻 watching.

Video looked very interesting, however, the wind in the microphone was a deal breaker!

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I agree with you 100%. I'm working with a smart phone. Hopefully I'll be upgrading to a camera this year.

I use a proper Greenlee conduit piston

[@fatefarmspa]

That worked awesome ! I’m starting to think I should’ve used mule tape .. power company said I can use nylon rope. Also told me I was OK with 3 inch conduit. Hopefully this doesn’t backfire on me Haha. New subscriber buddy.

[@workingmanrondoyle3287]

Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻 I appreciate it. If the power company told you that, hold them to their word. You should be alright with what you have done. I liked you video and feel your frustrations. Their all about the money. I hope they give you some money back. Good luck brother 🙏 God's blessings to you this upcoming year.
