[RE-wrenches] big copper wire order

[Theo Van]



I once installed a 2000’ run of 2  x 3/0 copper. 
After I was done, a supplier told me there were crews that specialize in pulling long runs and supply the wire too. I never looked further into, but might be worth your while asking around. Maybe ask the directional boring contractor for referral. 

I ended up buying from a large local contractor I knew that got much better pricing than I could. I saved money and he made money on the deal. 

If you’re pulling downhill don’t let the wire get away from you!

Let us know how it goes.
