Foam Carrier · 4 in Conduit Size · For Blower or Vacuum Cleaning · IDEAL Industries 31-325
What this product is for
The IDEAL Industries 31-325 foam carrier is used to clean 4 in conduit before wire or cable installation. It travels through the raceway with a blower or vacuum system to remove water, dust, and debris that can interfere with pulling conductors.
Use for
- Cleaning 4 in conduit before a pull
- Clearing water and loose debris from rigid, EMT, IMC, PVC, and flexible conduit
- Spreading pulling lubricant through the conduit before cable installation
- Attaching to a pull line using the metal centre rod loops
Avoid for
- Conduit sizes other than 4 in unless confirmed by the manufacturer
- Applications where a measured pulling grip or tensile rating is required
- Sharp internal obstructions or damaged conduit that could tear the foam
Best for
Commercial, industrial, and larger residential conduit runs where electricians need to prep the raceway before installing conductors. It is especially useful when moisture or jobsite debris could slow the pull or contaminate lubricant.
Installed in
Used in 4 in conduit systems, approximately 102 mm, with blower or vacuum-assisted cleaning setups. Suitable for rigid metal conduit, EMT, IMC, PVC, and flexible conduit where a foam piston-style carrier is appropriate.
Why this product exists
This foam carrier helps reduce snags and cleanup issues by clearing the conduit path before conductors are installed. It can also help distribute pulling lubricant more evenly through the run, which is commonly useful on longer or more complex pulls.
Compared with similar products
Compared with smaller conduit pistons and foam carriers, this model is sized specifically for 4 in conduit and is intended for larger raceways. Unlike disposable improvised swabs, it uses a durable foam body with a metal centre rod and loops for easier attachment and repeated use.
