time-consuming, but very worthwhile 💡
What happens here
With the holes drilled, carefully 'fish' or feed the low-voltage electrical wire through the passageways within the blocks. The video clearly shows a worker pulling a black electrical wire through a hole in a gray block, demonstrating this threading process. Ensure that the wire is fed smoothly, avoiding any kinks or sharp bends that could damage the wire's insulation. If the run is long or the path is particularly convoluted, a fish tape can be used to guide the wire. Leave sufficient slack at each light fixture location for making secure electrical connections later.
Goal: Thread low-voltage electrical wire through prepared block channels.
Tools and materials
- Fish Tape — Guiding wires through long or difficult channels
- Low-Voltage Electrical Wire — Conducting electricity to the undercap lights (e.g., 14/2 or 12/2 landscape lighting wire)
- Work Gloves — Protecting hands while handling and routing wires
