Ambient temperature for testing and installing cable

[Knobhead]

Like Benji, I've had large cables split due to the cold.

One advantage of working on kilns and furnaces is I could roll drums under them to warm the cable through.
When I started we were pulling in quite a few old style hesian wrapped PILC. When cold it simply wouldn't bend.

Take a thermometer with you, I like the Tools down bit, but to be honest I have never worked on many 0deg places, only when ive changed outside lights and its a nightmare, so flex and PVC/PVC is like a super hero in the winter LMAO.....never had them split on me yet i should say..

I think we may have been talking about something a bit bigger than a bit of 1.5

Depends on the cable type. The OSG actually says not to install PVC below 5 degrees.
