pulling wire through conduit

I use a standard underground locator to trace conduits…even works in walls. Can also use tick tracer to find circuits.

I wonder if you could inject sound into an open conduit and hear it as you walked around?
Sound? In a newsprint press area?

Smoke sounds pretty good to me.

Dead quiet when the press(es) aren't running. Total sensory overload when they are. Like sitting inside of a truck engine compartment doing 55 down the highway.

Presses not running enough hours per day promoted consolidated printing plants and outsourcing of local printing jobs.

Consolidated printing plants pushed back deadlines to accommodate all of the different papers they have to print.

Pushed back deadlines contributes to non-current news in local papers that have to print at consolidated plants.

Pushed back deadlines = yesterday's news tomorrow.

Yesterday's news tomorrow = loss of interest in reading something you already learned on TV/internet.

That about sums it up.

I still get it at the retiree rate of $50 per year. Just can't bear to let it go. They don't print a Saturday paper anymore.

That's less than 5 weeks SF Chronicle home delivery...

Cancelled twice but mom likes it and will spend mornings just silently ready through the pages... I think we are the last in the neighborhood...

At one time we had 3 papers!

That was the rates were so cheap no one could refuse.

One thing I learned the hard way is it can make a difference which way you pull. Where the each conduit piece come together the joint can be a leading edge in on direction that catches stuff as you pull, and a trailing edge in the other that won't catch stuff.

Good post.

Just installed 500' of 1 inch PVC in a trench, elevation change was 40' from one end to the other. Installed all the bell ends toward the direction I fed the wire from at the top of the hill. Making all trailing edges for lower friction for the wire pull.

Link to conduit wire fill calculator.
If you plug some numbers into the cells, it can determine Jam probability with your wire size.

My preference is for the Chinese finger trap type grip, and a pull rope. Lube helps a lot, and for big gauge wires the trusty Greenlee puller to pull the rope.

Those pullers are great. Used them loads of times. Just keep the idiots away from trying to pull 12 - #10 wires thru a 3/4” conduit. 😍😂
