185 cfm works very well. And they are the most common. But even one half that size will do the job.

Going to try to splice on spare strands in an existing fiber in another conduit. The guys who originally installed the conduit put pull line in all the other parts of the conduit run except for these 2 runs that I'm trying to pull new fiber through. > >> On 8/20/2022 4:19 PM, Nate Burke wrote: >> Haven't tried it yet. setup with the guys for Wednesday to try again. >> >>> On 8/20/2022 2:47 PM, Chuck McCown via AF wrote: >>> So, did you try it?

My Rodder is only 600' Is there anyplace that would rent a 1000' rodder for a couple days? We tried to shop vac it out, but just not enough pull to get the water out over that distance. Are there other methods I haven't thought of yet? I only have home/shop sized air compressors, I'd have to go rent a scroll compressor to try to blow it. >>>> >>>> -- >>>> AF mailing list >>>> AF@af.afmug.com >>>> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com >>>> >>> >>> >> >> > > -- > AF mailing list > AF@af.afmug.com > http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
