I'm finally about to rewire my shop and need to pull new wire for a sub-panel. The problem is my electrician specified #4 thhn wire and I only have a 1" conduit. The conduit runs under a concrete sl

Hi John, Couple of suggestions. Attach the ends of the wires securely to the end of a sturdy "fish tape" inserted from the pulling end. Strip the wire ends, bend them into a U, fold them over the fis

I don't think you will be able to get 3 #4's and a #10 into a 1" conduit, even if it were a straight piece of conduit. You may have to consider thinner insulation on the wire. I don't have a code ma

A 1" conduit is rated for four #4 THHN wires so 3 and a ground should be no problem if the conduit is still sound. Use a good pulling lube and a steel fishtape. It should go easily. Steve the Electri

NEC allows (4) #4 conductors with THHN insulation in a 1" thinwall conduit - I presume is that you'll use THHN as it's the most commonly available. (2) 90 degree bends is allowable - the maximum is a

If you want to avoid buying a fish tape just for this one job, here's what worked for me when a pulled wires through a conduit for my garage a couple of years ago: I took a long-enough piece of thin
