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
What is special about PVC when used as conduit rather than water supply? You glue up a run of PVC with maybe 50 or 100 PSI and it doesn't leak for decades or forever. You glue up PVC as conduit with
Is this a new installation or pulling hardline through conduit that is already buried? I have done this many times, but always starting fresh with an open trench. I lay out all of the cables as one b
After 23 years in the Electrical construction trade, I have dealt with this about million times ( or a bit less). Make the conduit large, 2-3" is fine. Pull all cables at once, but, also pull a #12 T
There seems to be many approaches to putting cables in the ground and I don't think there's just one good way. I just finished an install at the home QTH. I decided to use 4" corrugated flexible drai
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.

Another alternative is to contain the cable in heavy wall PVC conduit for 20 to 30 feet prior to the capstan. Properly used the capstan is a great device. Imporperly, or carelessly used it likes to
...I've got a spool of LMR1700. The stuff used for cell tower antennas. Was thinking that I'll either sell it or bury it to one of the towers. Its got the end connectors that reduce it to type"N" so
I install a pull line when I install the conduit. OTOH I also have a 100' fish tape. Pull boxes are cheap and good insurance. and I agree, don't skimp on the "wire soap", pulling lubricant, or what e
Hi All, I got to get in here,,, this answer is as to how to get the string, rope, etc through the conduit to pull the cable... ** Before you pull the Cable through the conduit First,, if your going t
The catch here is in your last line. 4 inches diameter PVC pipe as a coil form is probably well less than the minimum rated bend radius. The coil will most likely see somewhat wide voltage/current sw

Hi Jack, Your discussion is not over technical as your points are well put and fundamentally germane to the basics of coaxial design and function. The only catch is that it appears that you are skept
It's not the outer jacket that would be the life-limiter in this design, but it definitely contributes to the eventual problem. Heat absorbed by the outer conductor and also that dissipated between t

Hi Dave, not sure if I am completely qualified to answer your question, but not seeing any response, I will throw my thoughts in. I can only say that from the prospective of the outer winding of RG-2

I still don't understand the assumption that the pipe will fill with water. Isn't that like assuming the PVC used to deliver water under pressure will always fail and leak which flies in the face of
I have an electrician friend that will not pull romex inconduit. He always uses single multi stranded wires instead. He says they are much easier to pull than romex that is less flexible. Consider r
Gene's email is chock full of good ideas and advice. The serpentine step is a stroke of genius! A corrugated drain pipe can also be used if an additional step is added: where the pull cables and wire
