Greetings. I would like to run a wire underground through irrigation tubing for 100 meters - down to an electrical fence that surrounds my honey bee colonies. I have a question about what you ran thr

I am not sure how big your irrigation tube is. What I have done several times in the past is tie a small plastic bag to a length of small dia. Dacron rope. Put the plastic bag in one end of the pipe.

First, if the wire is carrying 120 volts, forget about this and use real conduit. Getting a wire through 100 meters of plastic irrigation tubing is quite difficult. Success at shorter distances was r

I once pulled 14-2 UF (rated for direct burial) through about 300' of 1" tubing (behind home plate to outfield for scoreboard power) with no effort using the vacuum cleaner method to place the pull l

Ingrid Not sure what voltage you need at your bees (probably 115 VAC) but you might want to consider doing the following: 1. Get a step down transformer 115 VAC to 24 VAC. Buy 100 meters of direct bu
