Rex,
As a construction electrician with 26 years in the field, I respectfully
disagree with the use of this knot. I have made thousands of cable pulls,
and, I would use a kellum-type cable grip, with a swivel head. Make
certain the cables grip fits the wires, without much slack, use some thin
tie-wire to help secure it, then, wrap with several wraps of electrical tape.
Use
liberal amounts of wire lubricant.
If you plan on adding anything to the run later, pull a #12 stranded THHN
wire in, to use as a pull wire later. DO NOT use rope/string, as it will
burn into the cables later, if you decide to pull something else.
