A conduit pull body with an elongated generally square cross-section cavity defined by two generally square ends and four generally rectangular lateral panels (front, back and two sides) in which the back and at least one of the front and two side panels are selectively removable to increase access to the cavity for pulling cabling therethrough. Where at least two of the removeable panels are adjacent, lateral access to the cavity (as represented by the longitudinal centerline) is not less than about 180 degrees, about 270 degrees where three removeable panels are adjacent. Where at least one of the front and two sides is apertured and interchangeable with a second one of the front and two sides, the pull body is convertible between Type LB, Type LL and Type LR pull bodies. On-the-job-site construction of different types of pull bodies is possible from a selection of component parts. Methods of improving cavity access and creating different pull body types are disclosed.
In a conduit pull body defining an elongated cavity with a generally square cross-section defined by (a) a generally square input end having a cylindrical aperture therein through which cabling may be pulled into said cavity, (b) a generally square output end, (c) an elongated generally rectangular unapertured back, (d) a left side, (e) a front, and (f) a right side,
A pull body comprising:
A conduit pull body defining an elongated cavity with a generally square cross-section being defined by (a) an input end having an aperture therein through which cabling may be pulled into said cavity, (b) an output end, and an elongated generally rectangular (c) front, (d) back, (e) left side and (f) right side panels,
The method of improving access to a pull body cavity defined by two generally square ends and four generally rectangular front, back and two side panels, where the ends are unconnected to each other except through one of the panels, by the steps of completely removing the back and at least one of the side panels prior to pulling cabling into the cavity.
The method of selectively creating one of a Type LB, Type LL or Type LR pull body, installing the pull body and pulling cabling therethrough comprising the steps of:
In a conduit pull body defining an elongated cavity with a generally square cross-section defined by (a) a generally square input end having an aperture therein through which cabling may be pulled into said cavity, (b) a generally square output end, and (c) four elongated generally rectangular panels forming front, back, left side and right side,
