Handling & Installation Hints

The service wire on Piggyback Drop Duct™ is lightly bonded to the drop duct and is easily removed for wire preparation. Colored oversheath is easily removed from wire and does not interfere with normal wire preparation.

Step 1
1. Twist end of wire to break bond.
Step 2
2. Separate wire (with oversheath intact) from duct to needed length.
Step 3
3. Ripcord in wire may be used to cut color oversheath and wire sheath.
Step 4
4. Wire may be handled in normal fashion.
