Tips on retrieving pull string in 1" conduit?
My builder installed a pull string in a 1" conduit for future wiring purposes, but failed to tie a knot at one end and now it's retracted about 7' into the conduit (verified with cheap endoscope). What is the best way to pull this out? The conduit goes straight up inside the wall. So far I've tried: - Vacuum (couldn't get the right angle/size to form a seal) - Attaching hook onto end of endoscope (no knot at the end of string so unable to hook it) - Contacting builder (I'm barely past warranty period so they were of no help) submitted by /u/soap22 [link] [comments]
