I stuck this question as an afterthought to another append on wire size and was afraid I might miss out on some good advice, so sorry about the double append.
I'm pulling 4AWG wires, neutral and ground through 10 foot sections of 2 inch conduit- about 125 feet worth.
Any handy tips on how to do it ? I've seen mention of sucking it through with a shop vac, grease, etc., but (never having done it) it sure seems all I'd need is a stout 12 foot piece of twine attached to the wire at one end and a heavy washer at the other end of the twine, dropping the washer through each conduit piece until it comes out the other end, and then pulling. Or am I, in my naivete, missing something ?
