Default Best way to pull heavy wire in thin wall

Fish a heavier rope through the wall and use that to pull while you have
someone push from the other end. If your opening is really small you may
need to do all the wire at once. The first one will be the easiest and it
will get increasingly tight as you progress. Good luck.

I need to pull 100 feet of service wire...two 2awg...one 4awg
neutral...and one 6awg ground wire through 100 feet of 1 1/2 inch thin
wall. The heaviest I have ever pulled is 12 awg

What's the best way to pull this through...mostly straight run with a
90 degree up/down of about 8 feet at each end.

I have a number of regular fish lines...but is there a "heavy duty"
fish line for this type of work ?

Any other pointers...tips....will be really appreciated !

Thanks, Tim
