Foam Carrier · 3 in Conduit · For Vacuum or Blower Pulling · IDEAL 31-323
What this product is for
This foam carrier is used in 3 in conduit to move air-driven line through the raceway with a vacuum or blower system. It helps clear water and debris and can be used to establish a pull line before wire installation.
Use for
Use for 3 in trade-size conduit runs, including maintenance, conduit cleaning, and pull-line setup. Suitable for use with common blower or vacuum systems used for fish tape and conduit preparation work.
Avoid for
Avoid using this product as a wire pulling grip or as a substitute for a proper pulling head. Do not use it in conduit sizes other than 3 in, as fit is size-specific for effective air movement.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors preparing larger conduit runs before cable installation. It is a practical choice when you need to clear moisture or debris and quickly send a line through the raceway.
Installed in
Used in 3 in conduit systems, approximately 76 mm, including rigid, EMT, IMC, PVC, and similar raceway systems where air-assisted line pulling is used. Actual fit and travel performance depend on conduit condition, bends, and debris levels.
Why this product exists
Foam carriers help reduce setup time on conduit runs by using airflow to move a line through the raceway. This is commonly used before conductor pulls to clear the path and confirm the conduit is passable.
Compared with similar products
Compared with smaller foam carriers, this model is sized specifically for 3 in conduit and should not be substituted across other conduit diameters. As a rule of thumb, correct carrier sizing improves airflow seal and pulling efficiency; actual performance depends on installation conditions, conduit layout, and site practices.
