[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 76220, member: 807"] IF you already have cable in the conduit - that can be disconnected - you dont need to buy anything. Use the existing cable to pull a strong string or wire into the conduit. Then use the string to pull all the new-plus-old cables into the conduit. Also, while you are about it, pull in an additional piece of string, that you leave in there - that can be used to pull in additional cables in future if required. I would use NO liquid lubricant at all. It will just make a horribly messy gunge in there, and maybe damage connectors if it seeps out or creeps along the cable. Talcum powder is the only lubricant I use on cables. [/QUOTE]
