To minimize the chance of a problem, use the old coax pull a rope through, and then use  a cable pulling grip with some wire pulling lubricant on the new coax to help get around the turns.If you are feeling lucky and the old coax moves freely in the existing conduit, you might get away with just the tape, but cable pulling lube would be cheap insurance there too.de KM1P Joe________________________________________From: TowerTalk <towertalk-bounces at contesting.com> on behalf of Gary K9GS <k9gs at gjschwartz.com>Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2023 5:39 PMTo: towertalk at contesting comSubject: [TowerTalk] Pulling 1/4" coax?I need to pull about 15' of RG58 through some 1 1/4" aluminum tubing. There are a few turns instead of a straight run.There is an existing coax already inside which I am replacing.  I have about a 4" pigtail of the old coax sticking out.Should I tape the new coax to the old and use the old coax to pull it through or should I use the old coax to pull a pull rope through?  Or something else?Ideas??73,Gary K9GS______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
