@KarlDL posted:Pulling solid through conduit is, well, challenging, to say the least. So stranded is pretty much standard there.
You win that round! I saw a pair of guys trying to pull solid wire through a conduit for my septic system installation, they finally gave up and got stranded wire. I'm not sure why they started with solid, I can only suppose they already had it on the truck and didn't want to make a trip for the right wire.
