I know that by now you've probably got the wire stuck about two thirds of the way along the pipe, and need a really practical suggestion:
Why not stick a post in the ground half way along, and run the thing overhead?
No one will ever acccidentally dig it up either!
cheers,

If its stuck, just push the other end of the flex in from the other end of the pipe to complete your circuit, then bury it underground. That way no-one will catch on it with a high load. :D
S..t.
If he takes any longer to do this simple job I will go there and do it for him.:rolleyes:
Lay out pipe on ground to straighten.
Get a piece of foam a little smaller than the pipe.
Tie it to a light fishing line.
Lubricate foam and pipe. Liquid ballberrings is good
Blow foam and line thru with compressed air.
Attach stronger line and draw back.
Attach flex and haul thru pipe

I have used each of the methods I suggested on many occasions. If you are serious about wanting to get the cable through, just do it. The compressed air business requires a good seal and ideally the proper gear, consisting of a bung big enough to fit the pipe with a hole for the string and one for the air line. Often it requires a fair amount of pressure. As for the water business, I've used that to get a draw string through a piece of 50mm conduit that was impossible to rod as it was so full already. When there's only one way for the stuff to go, it tends to take whatever's in the way with it or find ways around it.Quote:

The funny part about all this is that Tonto doesn't actually need to do the job. He just posed the question to win a bet in the pub :D What was it mate? The most number of posts before a hijack? :D
