    URD in conduit - an "easy" way?
    Hi, I have to run approx 250' of urd through schedule 40 PVC and am wondering if anyone has some tips on how I can avoid trial and error until I find any "easy" and efficient way to accomplish this. The meter will be mounted approx 25' from the pole (between the house and the pole).

    Do I start at the street end or the foundation?
    Which direction does the bell end of the PVC run?
    Do I actually have to prime and glue the PVC?
    Thanks.

    We don't use that down here. I would Pull individual THHN/THWN instead.
    The bell end is not really a factor, If you knew ahead of time the direction of Pull, You could do so conductor hits smooth contact instead of the edge. I wouldn't worry about it.
    When Pulling wire Consider pulling down from higher level down to lower pull point.
    Sometimes its not practical to have wie in house and pull out.
    Also consider where you can apply the most Pulling Force, The other side will be the feed.
    Use a Good wire lubticant.
    You don't have to prime Electrical PVC Yet? The Glue causes it to melt together, works great, If pipe is dirty, muddy, whatever, clean well.
    Also Larger Conduit is easier to pull than smaller.
    Also do you have a Truck and good set of Communications?
