gpowellpec,
It probably would violate 300-18.
The installation should be a complete system with the Pulling Sleeve installed, aligned, and the conduit supported properly. Then the Pulling Sleeve is slid back over one the mating conduit.
The installation I was on was in the Mid 1950's. The conduit runs were in a tunnel between the Plant's Sub-Station and various buildings on the site.
If I remember correctly, the pulls I was on were 15KV. The 8' +/- opening at the Pulling Sleeve meant a lot to the pulling of the cable.
UL did not mean anything to the guys on the gang. Not sure it meant much to the supers.
I was on the "Forty-Four" Gang, 4 hat and 40 Shirt working on a "NarrowBack" job.
