Default Best way to pull heavy wire in thin wall


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

That is a specifically forbidden practice in the US NEC. Attempting to
install raceway over the conductors inevitably leads to insulation damage.

outlet, junction, or splicing points prior to the installation of
conductors. Where required to facilitate the installation of utilization
equipment, the raceway shall be permitted to be initially installed
without a terminating connection at the equipment. Prewired raceway
assemblies shall be permitted only where specifically permitted in this
