Morning PA

Looks like another snow is on tap for today...

 

Good morning PA. Happy Sunday. Snow is done here, for now, in the west.

 

Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. They are calling for 1 to 4in in my area we shall see.

 

Not snowing yet here. Given my choice it could just skip us and I won't complain

 

Good morning Neighbors to the North.

Having a cup of coffee and apple pastry to start my day.

 

Morning Pennsylvania
4-8” here

 

Send that 4 to 8in to my area i want to do some snow wheeling. Not possible with 1 in on the ground. Meanwhile nj put a state of emergency in place. For what 3in of snow get a grip governor

 

Morning all, 1 to 3 is my forecast. Probably have 1 now, and still steady smaller type flakes. Went to work early this morning, them wife n I went shopping and just got home when it started about 1/2 hr ago.

 

Sorry but you are. Piece of cake if your pipe is sized correctly for load and conductors and no more than 360 degrees in bends between pull boxes.

 

while going 80 km/h...did you open some kind of vortex by doing this?

 

Question how do you guys fish lines through do you use like a vacuum or something to get the pull string through. Genuinely curious

 

Yep, unless it's a short easy run u can use a fish tape to push through then attach wire to it. But most times we use a vacuum and on other end a mouse or small half inflated baggie with small lite string attached to it.

 

Lmao didn't even notice that. Good catch.

 

Funny I never thought about asking my brother this question and he's a high voltage electrician. Thanks for the answer.

 

That's one way especially on long pulls and large conduits where you suck or blow string through and then tie pulling rope on, pull rope through, attach conductors, pull in using rope. For small, short runs 100' or less use metal fishtape pictured. Push fishtape through pipe, connect wires to fishtape pull through you're done...

 

Thank you gents for responding to my curiosity.

 

Milwaukee rep is supposed to be coming to my site this week demoing their powered fish tape. Have 11 floors to pull, 14 or so panels each floor, so anything to shave a little bit of time off per pipe adds up to a lot of time.

 

Interested on feedback.

 

Just before 1:30pm today…

 

Use poly if you're like us at work and pull lines into hot panels or with other live 3 phase runs.

No, we're not smart. We're in a hurry.
