Ignoring the NEC rule regarding maximum number of current-carrying conductors in a conduit, how easily/possible will this cable pull be? I haven't buried any conduit yet, so plans can change, but I'm seeking to integrate into an existing 1" conduit where I'll be pulling the existing conductors out to replace with the new, longer ones. I'd prefer to not have to run an entire new conduit run back to the panel if possible. According to a conduit fill calculator, it'll fit easily, but theory and practical application can sometimes wildly differ.
- This pull would be a in 1" schedule 40 buried conduit totaling around 100 feet.
- There would 2 radius/sweep 90s and a long, gentle curve of about 45 degrees over 60-ish feet via bending the sticks of conduit in the trench.
- There will be other segments separated by LBs above ground. This segment is another 50-ish feet, but because it's straight sections with LBs for pull points, I'm not too worried about having a hard time.
- The conductor list (all stranded wire) includes:
- 3-8AWG
3-10AWG
1-12AWG
- 3-8AWG
