Cavity Wall Cable Feed
 

I live in a property that has a cavity wall.

If I want to feed some aerial cable through the double wall is there a
suggestion or tool to get the cable through both walls.

Yes, a wire coat hanger works fine.

Cut a piece of hanger wire about 50cm long. Fashion one end into a grippable
handle and the other into a small loop about 5mm dia.

Drill right through the cavity wall with a long masonry bit. Push the newly
made tool through the wall until the loop emerges from the other side.
Firmly attach the coax to the loop, gently pull the cable through from the
handle end.

Works beautifully, I have done it dozens of times.

Something like this:

Access/Cable-Rod-Tool-Box-Kit

They fit together like a chimney sweep's pole. Can be stiff and bendy as
well. HTH

Last year, we had the house professionally wired, and they made great
use of those rods. I was absolutely amazed how they were able to get
cables from A to B, using routes which I would never have thought
possible. However, I suspect that there is a bit of a knack to it.

Yep - me too. Didn't bother with the loop bit, though, 'cos when I did it
made it harder to get in (and out again). It's eminently possible to fix
the coax to the end of the wire with a bit of leccie tape (axially, not
overlapped) and gently pull it through. Keeps the hole size down to a
minimum and the conical increase in diameter easily passes most snags in the
masonry. Beware cavity wall insulation in this respect. Rockwool fibre has
a wonderful knack of snagging just about everything that tries to pass
through it. Loops in the ends of bits of wire are guaranteed to find it.

That is also the method I've used in the past. For a standard wall it works
fine.

I wonder whether it would be worthwhile to fit a piece of tubing instead of
the cable, to make a re-usable conduit (which could be sealed at both ends
once the cable is fitted).
I am thinking of doing that shortly when we are having some new windows
fitted, getting the fitters to put a tube through or aside the frame as our
aerial and cable are due for replacement.

I second most of the other suggestions.

When I drilled through for my satellite feed, I used a 10x400mm
masonry bit to drill the hole. Bill says you should start the hole
from the outside in a mortar joint, and it is often suggested that the
hole should slope slightly upwards as it goes inwards, so that water
will tend to run out of rather than into it. It should also be sealed
once the cable is fitted.

Yes, a straightened coat hanger can be good but it may be worth a
little time ensuring that it is absolutely straight, otherwise it
tends to snag on things. The bits where the ends of the wire were
twisted together to form the hanger can be particularly irritating! I
once used a vice and rolled the wire about on a concrete floor
methodically straightening every kink, hammering them straight if
necessary. It was the best pull-rod I ever had. I kept it for years.
Finally I lent it to a workman who nicked it! The b*stard!

Unsurprisingly, as the OP didn't ask it, no-one here has mentioned the
vertical problem. My 80s house has plasterboarding on mostly vertical
slats, so cables can be dropped down vertically from the attic.

The easiest thing is if there is an existing cable, and it's *loose*!
I suspect when cheapo houses like mine were built, the cabling is
either temporarily fixed in place with dabs of mortar or were the
victims of sloppy brickies or plasterers. Whatever the explanation,
when I tried to use the existing aerial lead to pull through the CT100
double-insulated replacement, it offered resistance, I tried to
persuade it by wriggling it about, twisting it a bit, etc. Finally I
had to just try pulling harder and it broke. So it was Plan B.

Plan B is an old trick of mine, an old steel 4m tape measure blade.
Once the right-angled stub was removed from the end, it was perfect.
Though, of course, without the stub, I needed to be careful about
letting go of the end and having the rule disappear up its own
fundament. Finally, I removed it from the casing for good!

A rule has lateral strength in one direction but weakness in the other
- I mean it tends to bend easily in the flat direction but not the
other, but In the confines of the cavity, it can even be persuaded to
remain upright when being pushed through from below, though it usually
takes a few goes. Of course, it's usually easier to drop through from
above. Having lateral strength in the one direction, it can even be
angled to a certain extent.

4m is enough to get from floor to floor. If I need to go the full
height of the house, I try and find an existing socket on the top
floor as a mid -point.

If you are going to do this, make sure the tubing slopes so that the
outside is lower than the inside.

Good point - I'll tell the fitters.

Maybe 8mm copper tube will do the trick.

I had this done when we had an extension built. I asked the builder to
fit a piece of 2inch PVC waste pipe into the wall. This took all my
amateur radio cables.

I use these and can fish 2 shotgun cables from a 16mm hole drilled
diagonally upwards into the cavity. If the cavity wall is open at the
top, they push right into the roofspace even on 2 story buildings.

I have several ways of dealing with this, depending on the hole in question.

Almost always it is easy to just push the cable through. Cut the end
diagonally and be prepared to turn the cable and try again. If an
obstruction is met do not push hard. Retract, turn, and try again, gently.
This is a skill, but it can be acquired.

A single strand of lashing wire pulled tight across a curved surface will
become fairly rigid and straight, and can often fiddle its way through a
hole that has loose debris in it.

I have some lengths of 3mm dia high tensile wire (actually some offcuts from
a suspension bridge cable, courtesy of British Ropes). With difficulty I
have made eyes in these and they will push through most things and bring the
cable along as well.

I also have some old radio-telephone aerials which I use in much the same
way.

Blakes make tubes for the purpose.

It is possible to draw a thin wire back through the hole by attaching it to
the business end of an HDS masonry drill. Sounds impossible but the cutting
edge is a bit wider than the flume behind it.

Surprisingly, with the aid of a torch it is sometimes possible to see into
the hole alongside the cable, and fiddle the cable past the obstruction In
this case drill a 9 or 10mm hole for a 6mm cable.

I always use a 24" length of 2mm stainless wire to get a cable through a
cavity wall. The wire is pushed a short distance into the cable insulation.
It is then "felt through" the holes and across the gap and the cable is then
pushed straight through. Very quick and easy and can all be done from the
outside until the connector is fitted indoors.

Not usually any need for a draw wire across a cavity. Just drill the hole,
straighten the coax and insert, twisting and "feeling". Occasionally you
might need to put the drill bit through once more to clear debris. Had one
of these today, but cavity was about 2ft across (timber clad building of
unusual construction).

You can get someone to put the drill through, then just push the drill bit
back gently with the cable. Works a treat & stops the cable going into the
cavity.

Ha! reminds me of one in some shops a while back. I drilled and the drill
went through but it didn't come out at the other side. Turned out someone in
the dim and distant had bricked up two shallow alcoves to give a straight
run of wall, then put a studding wall over that, so there was a void about
2ft across. Just shoved the piece of suspension bridge through it though --
no problem.

If you are usig a decent cable, it will probably just push through without much
fuss.

Nice to know the options though if it doesn't :(

It's just great when it seems to be going through OK so you start to shove
it all in, then you get a nasty suspicion that something's wrong, because
you're meeting more and more resistance. Of course it's dropped into the
cavity, and when you try to pull it back you can't because it's all tangled

Not sure if you're referring to me or Andy B, but regardless it's relatively
easy for us sharp eyed young-uns to tell the difference between a pair of

Oh God, that reminds me of the other day when I went to the loo at
Addenbrooke's Hospital, unzipped my flies and lo & behold, my pants
were on back to front! Had to whip my trousers off and return my
pants to their default setting. Then continued to pee hapilly :-)

When I'm just not going to reveal what happened to me as I cycled down the
road from Crawley Court, having just had a tour of the dish farm. But I had
to throw away my underpants, trousers, and bicycle saddle.
