Shop Vac Helps Run Wire Through Conduit
 ✖  |
“After purchasing a new grain bin, I had to run electrical wire through about 50 ft. of flexible conduit. It can be difficult to fish the wire through so I came up with a method to make it easier,” says Roger Gutschmidt, Gackle, N. Dak.
“What I did was to use a shop vac to suck baler twine through the conduit and then tied the twine to the wire to pull it through. I just hooked the shop vac to one end of the conduit. In about 15 seconds I had the twine fished through. It was so fast and slick I couldn’t believe how easy it was to wire the aeration fans on my hopper bin. I have a new 5,000-bu. bin to wire this summer.
“I’m sure electricians have better ways to do it but this sure worked well for me.”
