no one gets it, but i do those long pulls with no radios man

Hi Ravi, great question and also forethought on your part, as protection of the wires as you do the actual pull is very important. To fully address your question let’s cover a couple points: - Yes, there are a few different anti short bushings that can be used to protect wire like these insuliners @ www.fastenal.com/product/details/0729758 or these plastic bushings @ i.stack.imgur.com/8lpmA.jpg - We should point out that in several cases, these plastic bushings are not optional but are in fact required by the National Electrical Code. - Further reading on when you must use them and why, can be found here @ www.ecmweb.com/national-electrical-code/qa/article/20893630/code-qa - And lastly, we should clarify that “rigid” and “EMT” are separate materials to clarify: - “EMT” (Electrical Metallic Tubing) has a thinner, but solid wall and does not have threaded conduit ends, and you usually use set screw or compression fittings with it. Whereas “Rigid” is actually short for RMC (Rigid Metal Conduit) which is a much heavier walled conduit, and does have threaded ends, and you pretty much always use threaded fittings with it. Back to your main question though - if you’re doing a wire pull with a partner, it is their job to feed the wire into the conduit so that it does not get damaged, however if you are pulling solo, you may want to invest in some materials that I'll reference in a couple links below; they'll help prevent the wires snagging on the box edge or conduit wall - also make sure you watch all our wire pulling videos to help you prepare. Good Luck! Notes: www.amazon.com/Madison-Electric-Products-104-Pull-It/dp/B00H8NVKW4 www.licensedelectrician.com/Store/RT/PulLee.htm

Thank you!!

Hello there Alexander, we specialize in commercial and industrial electrical, but will work to get you an answer on this!

I'm 9 months too late, and you probably know this by now, but if you're in a home with drywall (not plaster) chances are you have romex (NM-B) in your walls, which is more a cable than a raceway. Cables are preassembled sheathed groups of wires and you can't wire pull through that. (like you can't pull wire through an extension cord, for illustrative purposes). It is possible if your structure was built around the 60s that you have flex (FMC) conduit in your walls, which can be pulled through, and in that instance the answer to your question is yes. Most often the junction boxes in question in a residential setting will be in your attic or under your home in the basement or crawlspace.

It is not. He must just have a familiar face. Happy learning!

Thanks for your feedback.

Thank You!

Exactly! Taping the end of the fish hook keep it from getting caught on obstructions during the pull. Thanks for watching!

Hey Larry, thanks for your tips! We prefer to roll the tape all the way over the end of our fish tape as it reduces the the risk of damage to existing components, especially where there is already existing electrical. As for the ground wire, this video is for demonstration purposes only and was filmed on our training wall, so you don't see that green ground wire because this was a demonstration for wire pulling and not for wiring that would ever go live. Thanks for watching!

Hey there, we are not sure how to answer this? Can you please clarify what you mean? Thank you!

Hey there, it all depends on your location, but you should be able to find a place to rent one, like the local hardware store.

We have found that the ratings of anchors for strapping conduits has a much higher Sheer rating than a Pull out rating. When installing the one hole strap with the anchor above the conduit, the force on the anchor goes straight down and the anchor has a higher rating for that force. When putting the anchor below the conduit the force is more of a pull out force which the anchor has a lower rating for.

@@SouthwestIndustrialElectric MIC DROP

Typically when you are doing a wire pull it is on a pre-existing system, by taping the head of the fish tape, it's added protection to not snag anything along the way.

Hey there, the NEC has a chart of conduit fill, so as long as you are within the range of wires, you would be able to do that pull.

@@SouthwestIndustrialElectric i dont understand the charts.

@@Josh-mh3kl Shoot! We don't have a video on understanding conduit fill yet, but there are a few others on here that might help you.

@@annihilate_deceit Great tip! Thank you for sharing with the community!

@@SouthwestIndustrialElectricnumber of wires permitted to be in half inch emt

Hello, the tape over the end helps us pull all the wires at once. So we tape them together to pull them together. Hope this was helpful!

@@SouthwestIndustrialElectric I'm talking bout the fish tape not the wires

@@Eastbaypisces Ahh I see. If you check out our other video Fish Tape Head Prep For Wire Pulling we explain how and why we prep our fish tape that way. Essentially it is to protect any components that might already be preexisting in the conduit from the hook at the end.

@@SouthwestIndustrialElectric how do i do it if im starting at 90s on both sides(im doing pvc sch40)?

@@Eastbaypisces It really depends of the way your pipe is running and what direction the 90s are facing. Wire pulling with 90s on both sides is certainly more difficult than a straight run, but there are a few factors that could change the way we would instruct you how to do it--perhaps we should add this tutorial to our list! Thanks for reaching out.

Hey There! This video is for demonstration purposes only and was filmed on our training wall, so you don't see that green ground wire because this was a demonstration and not for wiring that would ever go live. Thanks for watching!

By code the conduit can be used as the means of ground. (Its lazy as fuck). It requires the connectors to be tight throughout though. My guess is he low bid the job and was saving $$ on meterials to try and profit on the contract.

@@Makitafan Great Explanation. Also a good safe guard when done right. I found a ungrounded outlet we used for a desktop computer. That computer always had so many problems.

An unweighted ladder is tippy, but you can certainly weight it to be more stable. A low axle on a milkcrate is a problem for conduit this height because the wire enters at an angle that drags along a sharp-ish edge. Obviously, all these problems can be mitigated, and the pull can be done more than one way.

Thank you for the feedback. This is a basic introduction, therefore we use a more introductory example to help build understanding.

Thank you for the feedback.

@@SouthwestIndustrialElectric besides that, great video 👍

Make sure you have your video set to 1080p, also you can turn the playback speed to .75 so it's just a little slower and catch details better.

@@SouthwestIndustrialElectric I have never seen anyone use a piece of conduit on a ladder AND tape the conduit to the ladder to make a wire caddy. That is really awesome! I have seen similar, but this method is more controlled.
