[TowerTalk] Another conduit question

I have seen some questions about having a broken line in a conduit and how
to run a new one.

I worked for a short time at a vacuum cleaner place, and one great way we
found to pull a line though PVC pipe was to tie a rag on the end of the
line and insert it into the end of the pipel  Then go to the far end and
put a hefty vacuum cleaner on the pipe and suck the line with the rag tied
to the end through the pipe.  Then you can tie that line to a bigger pull
line and pull it through.  Works pretty slick.

If the run is too long, though, it won't work as there won't be enough
volume of air going through the pipe.  73
