In long runs or when pasing pull boxes, use rollers or sheaves to reduce side- wall pressure and friction. Install rollers at the conduit entrace and exit, at each bend, and inside pull boxes.

Strategie Use of Pull Boxes a Manholes

In long or multi-bend runs, install pull boxes at intervals no greater than 100 feet for large conduits, or per NEC 352.44 for rigid PVC conduits. Pull boxes allow you to break the pull into manageable segments, re-magate, and realign cables. For manholes in underground installations, use pulleys or rollers at entry and exit point s to reduce sideparl presure. When pulling multiple cables prompgh a pull box, ee them avoid sharp.

Common Pitfalls and d Troublleshooting

Even with bezstarostný planning, multiple pulls can encounter issues. Here are frequent problems and how to resolve them.

Cable Jamming at Bends

Won multiple cables bunch together at a bend, they can form a etcocut; birdcage credit; that blocks further movement. To prevent this, use pulling spacers and ensure cables are evenly magated. If a jam emps, do not jerk the pull line - this can damage cables. Instead, release tension slowly, back thee bundle out slightly, re- magate, and tragain at a sloweed. If the jam persists, open the nearett bour install a new tone tone relieve.

Jacket Abrasion a Scoring

Sharp edges on conduit ends, broken threads, or internal burrs can scue cable jackets. Always ream conduit ends clean before pulling. Use plastic bushings or protection sleeves at entry point. After the pull, Inspect cables visually - any visible cuts or abrasions deeper than 10% of jacket wall contenness concent retreement.
