Soak this rugged duct puller all you want, its internal sealing keeps it water tight. This ultra strong puller can be assembled and disassembled by hand for easy use in the field.
Short Answer: Premium Duct Pullers are used to grip the inside of duct and pull it during HDD conduit and duct installations.
Correct use: The puller is inserted into the duct and expanded so the internal jaws grip securely against the inside wall, creating a strong internal pull point without damaging the outside of the duct.
Technical details: The puller features internal sealing that keeps it watertight, along with a high-tensile drop-forged eyebolt to handle pullback loads. It can be assembled and disassembled by hand for easy field maintenance.
Incorrect use includes: Using the puller outside its rated duct I.D. range or pulling damaged duct. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of slippage or duct damage.
Short Answer: Premium Duct Pullers are compatible with duct sizes based on inside diameter (I.D.).
Correct use: Select the puller size that matches your duct’s inside diameter so the expanding jaws can seat properly and distribute load evenly during pullback.
Technical details: Premium Duct Pullers cover duct I.D. working ranges from approximately 1.28 inches up to 6.19 inches, depending on the model selected. Proper sizing helps maintain grip strength and consistent pull performance.
Incorrect use includes: Selecting a puller that does not match the duct I.D. range. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of poor grip or duct deformation.
Short Answer: Premium Duct Pullers can be used in any ground condition once the bore is properly prepared.
Correct use: Ground conditions are managed during drilling and reaming. After a clean, stable bore is created, the puller provides a secure internal grip for installing duct in dirt, clay, mixed ground, and other formations.
Technical details: Puller performance depends on correct duct I.D. match, bore stability, and controlled pull forces rather than soil type. The watertight internal sealing helps protect the duct interior during installation.
Incorrect use includes: Pulling duct through unstable or undersized bores or exceeding allowable pull forces. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of increased pull loads or duct damage.
Short Answer: Duct pullers must be sized by inside diameter (I.D.) because they grip from inside the duct, not the outside.
Correct use: Always select a duct puller based on the actual inside diameter of the duct so the internal jaws or sealing surfaces can expand properly and distribute load evenly during pullback. Nominal duct size alone does not account for wall thickness or SDR variation.
Technical details: Different SDR ratings change the duct’s wall thickness, which directly affects I.D. A puller sized by nominal diameter may not grip correctly if the I.D. falls outside the puller’s working range.
Incorrect use includes: Choosing a puller based only on nominal duct size without verifying I.D. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of poor grip, slippage, or duct damage.
