Feeding hdmi cable through conduit.

As you can see despite the sharply bent pipe the cable got through effortlessly. Pulling wires can be difficult enough through straight runs of conduit but throwing a few bends and turns in the run increases friction making pulling much more difficult that s when you use a lubricant. Make a loop small enough that it will easily fit into the conduit then secure the loop by wrapping the free end to the wire strand with tape. A ring of the same size as a drawing wire is made in the feed cable.

If there is already another wire or cable inside the conduit then it is often simpler to disconnect it and use it as the pull string. Step 3 pull the wire through the conduit. Connect the new wires plus two wires. Assembled cable and connector ready for use.

The first extra wire is to replace the wire being used as a pull string and the second is to be left in the conduit as a pull string for possible later use. Wire pulling compound is a non conductive lubricant in either a gel or a slimy soapy form that makes both the conduit and wires slick by coating the wiring allowing. The fish tape may get stuck on the second 90o turn or it may become caught on the previously installed cables. Lubricating the wires.

Pass the end of the wire or cable through the ring that you make in the wire. Make a loop in the feed cable the same size as the one in the pull wire. Supra hdmi features. Picture showing how much space there is left in a 20mm pipe.

When feeding fish tape through conduit you can run up against some unavoidable obstacles a couple of 90o turns or previously installed cables that make it difficult to push the fish tape through the entire length of conduit. Place your wire box so that it is free to leave the box and freely enter the conduit. Use tape to fix the end like you pull wire.
