Tomorrow I'll be doing a project I've been putting off for about 14 years: replacing two runs of LMR400UF in a 4-inch 265-foot conduit between the house and one of my tower locations. I'll be pulling

Dick, Great question. I think it's a bad idea to pull air dielectric coax through 90 degree bends. You are asking for trouble. I've recently run up against two situations at broadcast stations where

First of all, you have already violated the cardinal rule of 90 degree sweeps. So do yourself a big favor, and dig up one of them and cut the pipe there. And only pull thru two, or you will have to p

Thanks for all the replies. Some good stuff in there. Just to clarify, the 4-inch conduit is buried 4-feet down, and has been for almost 14 years (the ground around here is very rocky and gets very h

a related conduit question - I noticed when checking out conduit at HD that the sch 80 sweeps are a larger radius than sch 40 at least in the 2 and 3 inch sizes they had laying around. So using sch 8

Once I pulled 1/2 hardline though 350' of 4" PVC pipe and it was not easy. I dug up the ends and removed the elbows so I could have a straight pull. If you already have wires in the pipe it will be e

Still talking about this one... just pulled two 1/2" LDF4, 1/2" rotor cable, multi-mode fiber through 150ft of 4" conduit. A half a quart of lub made it a one man job that took ten minutes. I used sw

I use a pair of sweep 45's in place on each single sweep 90 as they make the turn even less abrupt. 73 Roger (K8RI) _______________________________________________ ___________________________________

All three of my conduits are schedule 80. I had a contractor do the job, and the pros use schedule 80 for buried electrical service. One of my conduits does carry 220VAC (only) but I guess the contra

Even schedule 40 bends are available in different radii, for example 4" 90's commonly are found in 24" and 48" radius versions, and I believe 36" radius can be ordered. Not at Home Depot though - reg

Good to know. Contrary to another response, sch 10, 20, 40, 80, 120, 160 etc pipes and pipe size PVC conduit (standard) all have the same OD, so any size will mate to any other size via a coupling or
