Electrician Quick Tip #7 Water Bottle Cable Tray Trick
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июн 2021
- Here is a trick that I use all of the time when I'm fishing cable down a cable tray. This works great and it saves a ton of time. There are some tools out there that have the same effect that the water bottle has, but this is really nice in a pinch. What do you think?
My channel is really geared towards being a resource for you if you are interested in becoming an apprentice electrician. Check out my content and please reach out with any questions you might have. I’m here to help.

Off topic but you’re a big reason Ive decided to become an electrician and I wanted to say I appreciate the content you keep putting out . All the info your channel gives has helped me so much!
Hey Alec!
Man, I really appreciate the comment! Comments like this are really motivating and make all of the time and energy I put into these videos worth it. This is really my goal with the channel, to make others aware of what a great career and opportunity this is and to guide and advise people during their journey to becoming an electrician. It's really great to hear that this has been a good resource and motivator for you!
Thanks for supporting my channel! ⚡️
Used a similar trick to fish a line across a vaulted ceiling in a large church. Had a bottle with some sand in the end as a weight and pushed it up on one side using the weight to bend the sticks at the peak and down the other side came out 3ft off my intended target. Love the water bottle trick for even suspended ceiling.
Hard to believe so many people have never heard of this. You don’t need the hole in the top btw. Just make sure whatever you are using for a fish fits in bottle mouthpiece and tape it up.
That is genius 👏 love it!!!
Happy to hear that you like the trick!
Thanks for watching! ⚡️
Nice! That's worth a shot!!
Thanks! It's something that I do almost every time I'm fishing wires in a cable tray. Hope it works out for you too!
Nice. Definitely going to give that a try.
Thanks! It’s the only way I fish cable trays these days 🤘🏼

Only if you want to... at least for the contractor I've been with for awhile. Being in Wisconsin we do alot of paper mill work. And so this contractor kinda specializes in said industry. Taking work in the customers facilities all over the country. But they always ask if id like to "money up" and go. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.
What kind of tape do you use?
Hey do union electrician workers have to travel a lot? Like out of town and stay in hotels? I’m looking to get into the union and have been watching your interview prep videos.
Typically an inside wiremen doesn’t have to travel. You work within your jurisdiction. I’m assuming if you are a union linemen then you might need to travel. I’m a union journeyman out of local 595 and I have never had to travel more than 45 min from home
Where did you get that sweet hat??? I want one
Bro! It's from a super sick company called World of Electricians. Check them out on Instagram. They sell their stuff on an Etsy store. I've bought three of their hats and will keep buying more ⚡️
@@MadElectrician thanks man!! Great content man. I’m out of local 595 . Hit me up if you ever wanna do a zoom video or something for your Chanel. I love talking about our craft .
I'll keep that in mind!
Thanks for watching and for your kind words! ⚡️
nice hat
Thanks! It’s from World of Electricians ⚡️
What? Where did you pick that up from? Made the same rig years ago while pulling cable over 100ft of concealed tray!! Dammit should have applied for a patient. 😣
I have a question for you. Can I become an electrician even if I don't the passion for it? Throughout high school I was always told to figure out what my career should be. And still to this day I don't know. At this point, rather than finding my passion, I'd settle for finding a job that can put a roof over my head.
When I started working for a grocery store as a stock boy last year (my first job at 21), I realize that I much prefer doing labor intensive task (lifting pallets for example) compared to going to college.
Honestly, the only reason I'm considering electrician is solely for the money (and not living with my parents till I'm 40). Is that alright, or should I have a passion for this kind of job?
EDIT: Thank you everyone for the replies. I think when the time comes, I'll give it a shot.
Try it out, you might actually like it!
Hey Advent!
I totally hear you. I think everyone really wants to find something that they're passionate about. One school of thought it to try things that you think you are interested in, because maybe that will eventually turn into a passion! I knew that I was interested in becoming an electrician before I started, but I didn't know how much I would end up loving it.
I'd say to go for it and give it a chance for at least a few years. That way if you end up loving it, you've already been working towards it for a few years. And if you don't end up loving it or find something else that you really want to do, then at least you gave it a shot and made some great money along the way.
That's my advice. Hope it helps!
@@MadElectrician So I decided I will pursue this career starting next year. I don't want to quit my current job right now, but next, I'll apply to IBEW Local 1547.
HVAC is also a great option
I thought the same thing, had a daughter on the way and needed an actual career. Applied to the local 48 and was accepted within a couple months into the Limited Energy field. Figured at worst it’s decent to start out with for a couple of years. Flash forward 3 years later as a journeyman and I love it, never thought it’s a job I would appreciate but I love it
Do you like fish sticks?
Depends what kind we’re talking about 😂
These glow rod fish sticks work great for fishing pretty much anything. Big fan 👍🏼
Not so much a fan of the kind you would dunk in tarter sauce though. 👎🏼
I think he’s calling you a gay fish
@@codys4863 no he said he did not like fish sticks.
