1. A method of rodding a conduit comprising:
obtaining a conduit having an inner surface, a diameter, and a length, wherein the conduit at least one cable running along the length of the conduit; obtaining a cable rodding assembly and a rod, wherein the cable rodding assembly comprises:
a body having a width, length, and height and having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first side surface, a second side surface, a front surface and a rear surface;a first wing projecting outward from the first side surface of the body to a first edge and extending at least partially along the length of the body;a second wing projecting outward from the second side surface of the body to a second edge and extending at least partially along the length of the body, wherein the body, the first wing, and the second wing are integral, formed from the same material at the same time, and are part of one whole, and wherein the first wing and second wing do not extend past the lower surface of the body;at least one spring loaded mechanism attached to the upper surface of the body;a rod mount on the rear surface of the body; attaching the rod to the rod mount; inserting the rodding assembly into the conduit such that the cable rodding assembly is located within the conduit and at least a portion of the rod is located within the conduit; wherein the cable rodding assembly is oriented such that the spring loaded mechanism, the first edge of the first wing and the second edge of the second wing are adjacent the inner surface of the conduit and the cable is located in the area of the conduit bounded by the inner surface of the conduit, the first wing, the lower surface of the body, and the second wing; detaching the cable rodding assembly from the rod and attaching a cable threading device to the rod; and, attaching a new cable to the cable threading device. |
