I need to run a power cord through an existing concrete foundation. There

to
each end of a ~20' run. Is there any chance that a standard fish tape
would
be able to be pushed through?

Yes.

Another way that could work is to vacuum a "rat tail string" through
the line first. A string is tied on, say a ball (?), the vacuum pulls
the "ball" and string out one side. Then pull the wire after you tape
it to the string.

"PVC 1 5/8" ID" would be easy....even using just the fish tape.


Yeah well, H.D. is closed today and I can't find the 50' coil that is
supposed to be in the garage. It will be worth it to buy an $11 one for a
single job. Maybe I can try the shop vac later.
