Shop Wiring pull question

[Mike Kelsey]

I'm installing PVC conduit for a 220V run for my new jet TS. From the panel I have 3 90 degree bends - one sweep & two circular junction boxes for future expansion. (I'll never have more than one 220 machine on at a time). As to pulling the wire, I was thinking of fishing from the saw receptacle all the way back to the panel & pulling the wire straight through with no breaks, then going to each of the junction boxes & pulling back a foot or so slack & just coiling it in the box for future cutting. Is this the right way to go about the pull or should I pull from each junction & break the wires instead?

Definitely. The fewer unnecessary splices the better. Also pulling back some slack gives you options later. You probably don't need a foot, but I would rather be a foot too long, than an inch too short.

Thanks Doug for the confirmation

I'd do the same as Doug, FWIW.

That is the best way, there is no reason to cut and spliceand if you do you cannot cover the junction box. Just make sure your junction box is deep enough to accomadate the extra wiring with plenty of dead space. You can always add depth extensions if needed.

....... I would rather be a foot too long, than an inch too short.

Heh-heh-heh. I can personally vouch for that. Wire is cheap, and life is too short. Live + learn.
