Patent ID: 11381064

Abstract:
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.
