I had a great day Saturday. Worked with a former employer at a local plant. Helped with a wire pull, 2 sets of 350's in parallel conduits. No crawl spaces, no attics, barely got dirty. Just got my hands stained with Aqua Gel. Almost a vacation. Worked until 12:30, got paid well and went home encouraged. Those were good guys to work for. They always organize their jobs well and are well equipped.
They had a great idea I hadn't thought of before. About 200 feet into the runs, after several bends, they installed 2 foot sections of line gutter, in case they had to pull there and then feed from there. The gutters gave plenty of space to feed wire and manage loops if needed. Much better than C's in that instance and probably didn't cost much more than C's either. All turned out well, wire pulled right on through with no hitches at all. I will sure keep gutters in mind after that. I could probably use them in place of LB's when turning into a crawl space from a meter base, and have an easier time with 4/0 cable. Gutter doesn't look bad either.
