    Pulling Wire Through Conduit
    I am pulling wire through a hdpe conduit smooth wall and we are installing wire lube but the pressure it is taking is not good.It is a 1 1\2 conduit and I am pulling a six stand fiber over a 500 foot run.Is there any ideas on a easier way,the tension is very high and I am worried about breaking the fiber.We blew a string in with no problems and there is no blockage,I never had this problem before.any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    500 ft. on a single pull is a lot. Even a single loop will hang it up. What is cable size in relation to ID
