Re: [AFMUG] How long of a pull can I do?

I think you would have better than 50/50 odds of success. Pulling swivel
would be a good idea. Make a poor man's break away by using 1200 pound mule
tape and cut about halfway through it. We use that trick whatever we have
to pull with a truck.

I saw an outfit tape wire ropes (2) to the fiber .They used vacuum
trick to get jet and then mule tape to pull in wire rope Fiber
followed.. Two guys at each end with two way radios..

Normally you want to have less than 600 lbs of tension on the fiber.  I have 
pulled them with backhoes and pickups and bunches of people.
But a small fiber in a large duct that is straight with lots a lube should be 
easy.

I've seen 00 electrical wire done that way, but I imagine that's a bit less 
sensitive to stretching than fiber.

  I had a customer pulled coax from their 2way tower through a pipe under the 
parking lot with mule tape tied to the back of their skid loader.  Not saying I 
recommend it, and not sure how much lube they used.

  Empty 2" conduit by the way, with a string.

   

  I could use the string to pull in a mule tape or a rope, and maybe I could 
use a capstan to pull the fiber.  I don't have a tension limited winch, and I'm 
not sure if that could be done by hand.

   

  I've done 700' by handand it wasn't easy.

I've seen 00 electrical wire done that way, but I imagine that's a bit

Empty 2" conduit by the way, with a string.



I could use the string to pull in a mule tape or a rope, and maybe I 
could use a capstan to pull the fiber.  I don't have a tension limited 
winch, and I'm not sure if that could be done by hand.

Would I be stupid to try and pull a 48 count loose tube fiber 1500' in 
one shot?  There are bends, but no elbows.

Easy.  I would suck in a pull string with a vacuum (tie an old bread sack to 
the end).  
Then use the pull string (jet line) to pull in mule tape.

Re: [AFMUG] How long of a pull can I do?

[Josh Reynolds]

Probably, but I wouldn't risk it. I'd break it up into 500ft shots and use
a swivel loop on the end of the fiber to pull without twisting.
