Ideal Industries 31-316 Foam Carrier 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The IDEAL INDUSTRIES 31-316 is a foam conduit carrier designed to act as a piston when pulled or pushed through electrical conduit. Attached to a pull line, it travels the length of the conduit and clears out standing water, debris, and obstructions ahead of wire pulls. The carrier is constructed from durable foam material built for repeated use without degradation. Electricians use this tool during new construction and retrofit work to prep conduit runs before pulling wire, reducing the risk of contamination or snag points that can damage conductor insulation.

The 31-316 is sized for 1/2 inch conduit and is compatible with any standard blower or vacuum system used to drive or retrieve the carrier through the run. It is well suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where 1/2 inch EMT, rigid, or ENT conduit is common. The foam construction allows it to conform slightly to the conduit interior, ensuring effective debris sweep without scratching or damaging the conduit wall.

Installation Notes

Installation of this carrier is performed by licensed electricians during conduit prep prior to wire pulling. Attach the carrier securely to an appropriate pull line before inserting it into the conduit. Ensure power to any adjacent energized conductors is locked out and tagged before working in or near existing conduit runs. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for conduit fill and preparation procedures.
