Electrician Family, Dad Telling His sons to pull wire for an Ansel System in a Restaurant,Thoughts?

What happens here

As the apprentice attempts to push the electrical wire through the conduit, it encounters significant resistance. The lead electrician comments on the need for a 'snake' (a fish tape), indicating that the wire is not passing easily and a more robust tool might be required to navigate the obstruction. The focus here is on the immediate difficulty faced.

Goal: Identify immediate difficulties and the need for potential specialized tools.

Tools and materials

  • Conduit — The obstructed pathway
  • Electrical Wire — The wire being pushed
  • Hands/Gloves — Pushing the wire and protecting hands

That's the exhaust fan, up and down. You're just going to have to push it through without a snake. >> Yeah, push the wire through. >> You just can't push it through? >> It just tap around. >> Ansul system? >> Oh, no, that that kind of snake. >> Push it against the system. You can't push >> That kind of what's what? >> Got grease in it? >> Is it really that full? >> Yeah. >> You got to try and push it through. >> I am. Yeah, so you just it just tap around.
