How Trough Wire From Outside To Attic

Hi all i have to run some romex in my attic.

How trough wire from outside to attic. If you want to bring the wire up to the attic tie something to a string and lower it through the hole from above. Drop a string from above instead. Attach the wire or cable to a fish tape or coat hanger using electrical tape and feed it into the hole until it reaches the opening at the other end. This video will show you tips how to fish wire down an existing wall from an attic space down to a crawl space.

Bring all of the wire up into the attic. Wires can then be attached to the end of a fish tape and pulled down to their final locations. If you re working from the attic you can drop a weighted string down wall cavity then attach the wire to the string and pull it through. If you run outdoor audio wiring for speakers from an inside location to a back yard chances are you re going to need to run them through an attic or crawlspace.

My attic is non accessible so i know for a fact that i must protect the romex with guard strips or bore holes 1 25 from the face of the joists when running perpendicular to the joists and when i run parallel i must staple the romex to the face of the joists. Remove the outer jacket from the cable ends using the cable ripper or the utility knife. Remove 3 4 inches of insulation from the individual wires. While one person holds the flashlight the other person should use a staple gun to run the wire along the rafters from one entry hole to the other.

When you do be sure to staple the speaker wiring in place and protect it from either contact with curious critters in the attic or from coming in contact with the ground or water. The staple gun should be loaded with wire staples designed for holding the size and type of wire you are running. Pull the string from above to fish the wire through. I did a lot of reading about it but am confused about the best way to do it.

Here i ll focus on the work of the attic rat the poor slob whose job it is to crawl through the attic space running wires s he must pull wires from the main panel location out to each alarm device in the system.
