Can I pull additional conductors down this? What's the best / easiest way?
Hi. I want to hook up a ceiling fan on/off control (Panasonic WhisperGreen series). The fan has the usual power (hot, neutral, earth) and a pair of fan control wires that you can hook up to a switch to turn the fan on/off. I plan to run power directly to the fan from a junction box in the roof. Since I want to be able to control the fan from the bathroom, I want to run the two control wires down the existing conduit that leads to the bathroom light switch box. Please see the picture that shows the conduit that leads to the bathroom switch box. Since the fan control wires are NOT mains, I should be able to use thinner gauge wire up and back, but I'll probably just use 12 or 14 ga. Questions: Is it OK (NEC) to run these control wires along with the power? What's the easiest way to get the pair of wires down this conduit? I'm hoping that I can use one of the existing conductors to pull the two control wires and a replacement for the pulled wire itself. (so attach 3 wires to the one that I pull). Do I need to use cable pulling lubricant? Should I just pull *all* the existing conductors and replace the lot with what I want? Thanks in advance for any advice / comments. https://preview.redd.it/iutxnemhtk4f1.jpg?width=1210&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c9230ddfe07d38a96a822509fdeeee872091e88 submitted by /u/ProsaicPenguin [link] [comments]
