I still think filling the ducting with water was the best idea :rolleyes4::confused5:.
Hopefully the sheath isn't damaged mind

You're laughing but i'm pretty sure some daft bugger will remember your post and fill a duct with water!! lol!!
Let's hope the water isn't on a meter, and has devised some sort of method of draining it all out. ...lol!!

Use a cable sock, together with a cable pulling machine hired from HSS or Speedy along with the correct cord for cable pulling not polycord and it will go through slowly but surely

Hi CSEE.Thanks, you mean something like this Cable Pulling Winch - Tool Hire, Equipment Hire, Lifting Hire, Plumbing & Pipe Hire - Brandon Tool Hire ? That looks plausible maybe. What sort of rope do you mean? - I assume something non stretch (Dyneema/Kevlar) would be the only sensible option.
