I forgot to add that I no longer bother to glue the sections of
together I grease the joints with DC 4, or 5 compound so they fully
seat. To make a 90, I use two sweep 45s. If you have 90s, pull it
slow, or use lots of wire pulling soap. Nylon and synthetic ropes tend
to burn into the inside of sharp turns and/or when pulling heavy loads
around turns.

These are referred to as messenger cables. I use just over double the
length of the coax so I can pull new cable in from either end. It's
the same for removing existing cables. This is where you learn the
folly of taping those cables into a bundle <:-)

This is an earlier box at the entrance.

I recently asked about Pull ropes in buried conduit. Now I wonder about:
I can lay the abs conduit empty and either bury it early or keep
uncovered in the trenches. Either way I would install Pull ropes and
pull the cables through. But wait.
How about laying out the cables in a bundle and then slipping each
ten foot abs piece over the end of the cables and slide it up to the
previous abs piece and glue them together one at a time. In that
manner I would not have to Pull heavy cable. I would have to watch
the abs glue as it may melt the cable coverings.
Anyone done it these different ways and which method is not good to
use?
Since the trench was made of fractured sharp basalt rocks, I had
the rocks removed to a different area on the property. I will make a
sand layer in the trench for the abs conduit to rest on and also
cover them with sand and then complete the trench with Rock-less dirt.
