Default Feeding Long wires through Conduit

I have a Mill in France that has a new Borehole, located circa 40
metres away, the Large size conduit (circa 5 inch) is already buried in
the ground, I am going to fit a Borehole pump 20 metres down the hole,
then run the wire through the conduit to the Mill.
But how do I get the wire to feed 40 metres down the conduit?, I have
read on the net that I could use curtain wire, but will this feed 40
metres without Kinking? I am reluctant to purchase a Quick cable set as
they come in 10 metre lengths and I would need to buy 4 of them for a
one off job.



I havent got a ferret!
I havent got a Goldfish!
I havent got a small dog!
I cant use a pressure washer cos I aint got water yet!!!!!!!!!
You would need a vacum cleaner with more vacum than whats in Tony B
liars head, to suck 40 metres!
Any sensible suggestions?


In all honesty, a ferret or similar is actually an extremely sensible
suggestion. I've done it myself once, years ago using a friend's pet
rat we were baby-sitting(?) while she was on holiday, which happened to
coincide with some re-wiring I happened to be doing at the time...
worked like a charm. If there's anyway you can find somone who has a
pet one to borrow, that's definitely the way to go.

Job would have been a hell of a lot easier to have done before you'd
buried it - eg using a magnet tied to some string inside the duct, with
another one outside - but I'm guessing you've already realised that!
