    pulling SWA through conduit.

    32mm plastic conduit. Intention is to run it 6M under concrete floor and use bend spring on ends to bring it vertical. Conduit will be cut off flush with FFL. Concerned about the bends, do you think I'll pull through a 6mm SWA after the event or would you install it before laying the floor?
