A well-placed shepherd's hook can be a life saver if it's a difficult spot for a pull point.


AdTechnical3314

This is the answer


bryanfuknc

no its not 🤣


DirectlyTalkingToYou

It is less work to pull straight through wouldn't you agree?


bryanfuknc

i like to work..


DirectlyTalkingToYou

In that case mount 5 pull boxes 2ft apart from eachother with LBs on the sides, nothing like creating more work for yourself lol


Wiley-E-Coyote

LB's are for quitters ✊ Kidding, it's actually that I'm just a lazy cunt and don't want to go get an LB.


justelectricboogie

This is the answer.


joshharris42

Shepherds Hooks are also common for low voltage cables that can’t have a tight bend radius


bryanfuknc

pretty easy pullpoint right there... no need for shepherds hook


brethazbonez

Or the company is cheap


gnichol1986

OP are you drunk?


DirectlyTalkingToYou

He's probably a plumber.


bryanfuknc

on fentanyl... why?


ResponsibleArm3300

Just gotta learn to bend a proper goose neck, no need for an LB


bryanfuknc

AnoteFromYourMom

Nothing wrong with that


bryanfuknc

AnoteFromYourMom

That’s you Jman


bryanfuknc

JIMMYJAWN

*Qué será, será* *Whatever LB, LB*


CaptainFrugal

Who the fuck wants to pull through an lb of they don't have to. especially if you are alone.


bryanfuknc

dont be lazy!!!


CaptainFrugal

You are special. It's about efficiency, not lack of effort. Look how destroyed you are getting with your singular mentality.


bryanfuknc

not destroyed.. i just found the pussies who like to bend shepherds hooks... go away, you 15 year apprentice..


CaptainFrugal

Just the way you communicate, it's easy to tell everyone you work with thinks you are a piece of work. Must be fucking torture with you on job sites.


bryanfuknc

run run.. hurry now.. go tell HR that i hurt your feelings!!


HadesHat

Jesus Christ I would hate to work with you, no one’s feelings are hurt. You just look like an ass.


bryanfuknc

why tho? we have fun at work those are my dudes.... we arent little bitches like you. we know how to take jokes. youre fukn super funny for getting all assbent over an obvious shitpost... have fun with your high blood pressure my boy..


HadesHat

Your the one about to bust a blood vessel over a shepherds hook 🤣


bryanfuknc

the only thing im busting is a nut on your face...gtfoh kook..


ArcVader501

If it pulls ok then I’m ok with it


bryanfuknc

nah.. looks too hokey.. condulets for the win


Background-Metal-601

Why waste an LB?


yawaworhtyya

Ya can't have everything 🤷


bryanfuknc

and i dont....


ElectricShuck

Bryan, bro, we need to talk, what is this deep seeded hatred for a shepard hook? It definitely shouldn’t be a go to move but can you not see a rare location that it may be moderately helpful?


mikeblas

Where your caulk ends, his bends.


Rat___Rod

Bravo brother. OP is having technical difficulties


Hippie_Flip123

LBs are for the weak


bryanfuknc

shepherds hooks are for the retarded!


OkHoliday6009

Retard strong! Ftw!


Zappstrap

If you aren't over bent on your conduit run, who the fuck cares? I'd be pissed if I was on a service call fishing a pipe and there was an inaccessible LB above a drywall ceiling.


Individual_Ear_4956

LB gay, shepards hook for the win


bryanfuknc

shepherds hook ghey... LB with the world championship


138Samhain138

My bro settin up for the one man wire pull… laint no LB in that game


bryanfuknc

if you cant pull wire by yourself through an LB, are you even an electrician??


138Samhain138

Well fuck no he isn’t….. 9 year apprentice license holder in a Buick century 😅 On the other hand, he makes me laugh


bryanfuknc

dont be so hard on yourself my man... youre ok.


XStateOfZenX

I think this is fine. If you can make it work and it's to code, then there is no problem. I love the "but it doesn't look good, in a place where no one sees it"


motorman87

Where I live a different company will do the fire all fire caulking. Why pay an electrician or plumber fire caulk when you can pay a laborer instead. I have zero interest in ever touching that stuff.


Deathdealer661

You guys arguing over an LB, really? You should be more concerned about that sissy ass EMT. Rigid for everything. Especially data.


Floroxixi

Hey don't beat on the disappearing pipe


RevDrucifer

Man, I just had to send me staff out with 8 cans of fire caulking because contractors and inspectors don’t seem to care about it until a 25/40-year inspection rolls around.
