If you want to pull another cable:
- secure a string to the old cable
- pull the cable out the other end, pulling the string through
- secure the string to the new cable
- pull the string out the other end, pulling the new cable into position
- secure a string to the old cable
- pull the cable out the other end, pulling the string through
- secure the string to the new cable
- pull the string out the other end, pulling the new cable into position
At this point, multiple. Just in case.
This gives you a piece of string in the conduit run to be able to pull through the next thing days/weeks/years later.
Does someone have a recommendation for a specific material the string should be made of?
You basically want something that is slippery and will tend to not get stuck. I have used Dacron fishing line, but that is mostly because I had a bunch of it laying around.
I wanted to reach you regarding your comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44547866 Would you be willing to maybe elaborate on the problems caused - I've planned to adopt Miro Sameks for an application? DM me via my about me, if interested. Would be very thankful.
