Moving Reel Installation
Prior to installation, make sure to account for cable withdrawal by providing adequate excess length. Make sure the
conduit is capped.
NOTE: See Cable Withdrawal in General Conduit Installation Practices - Page 3.1.
Place the reel on a trailer with pay-off underneath and to the rear of the trailer. Secure the free end of the conduit
outside of the trench.
NOTE: Pay-off from bottom of reel allows the conduit to lay straight in the trench
As you drive off with the trailer, have a worker feed the conduit into the trench. Do not allow the reel to overspin.
When multiple conduits will be placed in trench - lay each flat and straight in the trench - do not cross over another
conduit if at all possible.
