Default Best way to pull heavy wire in thin wall

Another way to pull the lube through is to create a home made "pig" just put
the shop vac on one end and have it suck some small rags through the pipe
covered in lube.

Have you done the capacity calculation?


I just did the calc and he could actually use 1.25" at 24.8% fill so
1.5 is plernty.
I agree with the push/pull theory and use the pulling lube Get the
real thing, not something you have in the garage. You can pre-lub the
pipe by squirting lub in and sucking it through with a vaccum
