What happens here

Upon persistent difficulty, the electrician directly asks if the conduit is 'full' and specifically if there's 'grease in it'. The apprentice confirms the presence of grease, revealing a common obstruction in restaurant environments where cooking grease can solidify and accumulate within conduits, particularly those near exhaust fans or cooking equipment. The system requiring wiring is identified as an 'Ansel System'.

Goal: Identify the specific cause of the conduit blockage.
