Hardware store... grey electrical plastic conduit. A 10 foot x 1" stick will cost about $2.00. BTW, always put in at least one size bigger than you think you'll ever need. And, once the ditch is open
Sorry, I forgot to mention the distance was 1500ft. That is a lot PVC glue ;-) _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list T
Lowes, Home Depot, your local electrical supply house, etc. They all carry it in lots of sizes. Whatever you do, get larger diameter than you think you will need. There are _always_ more things you w
with the ends use 2 by 45 deg bends not a 90 deg. as too hard to draw ur cables through~~ i use black polly water pipe that comes in a long long roll _______________________________________________ _
What about the black corrugated drainage pipe. It comes in 100 foot lengths or more. My buddy says that the ribs help reduce the contact area of the cable and make it easier to pull wire through corr
You can water pipe in 20ft lengths. That will cut the glue requirements to 1/2. You can get the thin wall irrigation PVC a little cheaper than Schedule 40. If you are considering smaller sizes, you c
And you use glue...why? http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/cablebox.htm In the run to the house I did use glue, but all the others have no glue. The conduit was cut long enough to be under pressu

My wife and I put in 1650 ft of PVC Water Pipe in a week-end, ditching, gluing and all. I ditched and delivered, She glued, joined, and put it in the ditch. Fun Bill--W4BSG __________________________
I bought 1000 ft of 1 inch thinwall sprinkler PVC pipe at Home Depot fairly cheaply in 20 ft lengths. I am planning to slip it over a run of hardline to protect the aluminum jacket. Someone mentioned
Actually, this stuff comes in 1000' rolls and you can find it at your local farm supply place. Don N8DE _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________

Here the city uses it for runs from the water main into the house. They use the same type of equipment to lay gas lines. The water line comes in 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", and 1 1/2". I don't know if it comes
Wow! Neat project. The sheer 1500-foot length of the conduit run implies a lot of drag on the "fish line", and then on the fibre optic when you pull it through. What if this fish line breaks? I stron

4 inch flexible ribbed drain tubing in the garden department at home depot ( and Lowes, I suspect). Comes in 10 ft lengths and 50 ft rolls at least. seems like it was about a dollar a foot. For long
Wow! Neat project. The sheer 1500-foot length of the conduit run Try Neptco.com and click on "outside plant" and "muletape" . Must be cheap enough as contractors would leave hundreds of feet behind.

I've fished some small (RG-8X) coax through poly irrigation pipe using the "slime" that's sold for lubricating conduit. It's a bit messy but it takes away a lot of the friction. You run a standard el
