Selecting the correct configuration depends on:
- Number of ducts being installed (2-way, 3-way, 4-way, etc.)
- Duct size (10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm)
- Jobsite constraints and conduit layout
Using a modular system like Silver Pull-It allows crews to adjust configurations without switching tools, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short Answer: Silver Pull-It pullers are used to securely pull bundled micro-duct during HDD installations.
Correct use: The Silver Pull-It is designed specifically for bundled micro-duct configurations, allowing the installer to grip and pull multiple ducts at once during pullback.
Technical details: The puller uses stainless steel fasteners driven into the micro-duct bundle in a crosshatched pattern to provide a secure internal grip without crushing the ducts. Its modular design allows one puller to cover multiple bundle layouts using removable inserts.
Incorrect use includes: Using the puller on single large-diameter pipe or non-micro-duct products. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of slippage, safety risks, or duct damage.
Short Answer: Silver Pull-It pullers are compatible with a wide range of bundled micro-duct configurations.
Correct use: The puller can be configured to match common micro-duct bundle layouts by using the appropriate internal spacers. This allows one puller body to adapt to different bundle sizes and duct counts.
Technical details: Compatibility is determined by the internal spacer selection and fastener placement rather than the puller body itself. Spacer inserts are used to match the internal profile of the micro-duct bundle for a secure, centered grip.
Incorrect use includes: Attempting to pull bundles without the correct spacer configuration or using the puller without properly installed fasteners. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of uneven loading, loss of product downhole, or duct deformation.
Short Answer: Silver Pull-It pullers can be used in any ground condition once the bore is properly prepared.
Correct use: Ground conditions are addressed during drilling and reaming, not during pullback. The Silver Pull-It mini micro-duct puller is used after a clean, stable bore has been created and is suitable for micro-duct installation in dirt, clay, mixed ground, and other formations.
Technical details: The puller's role is to securely grip the micro-duct bundle during pullback. Bore stability, diameter, and cleanliness are the primary factors affecting installation success.
Incorrect use includes: Using the puller in an improperly sized or unstable bore. Incorrect use can introduce greater risk of increased pull forces or duct damage.
