Discuss Pulling 16mm SWA through 150 M of conduit? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
yeah, you don't wanna go in dry. no one likes that. .!
am not being cheeky to anyone on this thread but its only a 16mm swa , this aint a big cable , talk of the 50mm duct not being big enough and cable winches and tractors , yes its a long run but if the duct is fine then its not that hard to pull it thru , plenty of lube and take ur time and it would be in in no time
its corrugated....so should have held its shape...Corrugated plastic pipe, couldn't of chosen a worse design for such a long pull. The other thing is, how strong is this conduit /duct?? Laid at 600mm, if the wall isn't of a sufficient thickness, then there is a good chance the pipe's wall in places could have already collapsed, or starting to collapse, under the weight of the soil.
You're either going to be lucky and the pulling is going to go like a knife through butter, or as i suspect it's going to be a long pull, with one thing cropping up after another and ending up with a stretched cable at the end for all you're trouble. Use plenty of lubricant, ...you're going to need it methinks!! lol!!

As much as I respect near on every point you raise on this forum ! I am afraid no matter how you put it , a couple of blokes "hand pulling" a suitably secured and fed cable of this size , can not stretch it. I have assume that they are just average Joes and not part of the worlds strongest man competition that is of course .
