Gardner Bender FC12 Conduit Piston

The Gardner Bender FC12 is a foam conduit piston designed to pull cable through EMT, flexible, IMC, PVC, and rigid conduit with a 6 in trade size. Each package contains two carriers with an overall length of 6.25 in and overall width of 6.3 in. It connects to compatible Gardner Bender blower or vacuum units for cable installation.

Installers pulling wire through 6 in conduit

This piston suits electricians and low-voltage installers who need to pull cable through 6 in EMT, IMC, PVC, rigid, or flexible conduit using a Gardner Bender blower or vacuum. It is not intended for smaller conduit sizes or for use with blowers and vacuums outside the compatible Gardner Bender series.

6 in compatible conduit size

The single specification that determines fit is the 6 in compatible conduit size. The foam carriers measure 6.25 in overall length and 6.3 in overall width to match that conduit trade size. Verify your conduit size and blower or vacuum model against the compatible list before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Gardner Bender FC12 conduit piston, and what step is often missed?

Insert the 6.25 in foam piston into the 6 in compatible conduit, attach it to a Gardner Bender B60, BV208DA or JO225LC blower/vacuum, then start the airflow; the step often missed is confirming the hook-and-loop carrier is fully seated before switching on.

What maintenance or replacement will the FC12 piston need later?

The foam piston and its two hook-and-loop carriers are consumables; replace them when the foam shows compression set or the closure no longer grips the conduit wall during pulling jobs.

What limit appears first when the FC12 piston is used continuously?

The 6.3 in overall width and foam material set the practical limit; sustained high-velocity airflow can over-compress the piston, reducing seal effectiveness in EMT, flexible, IMC, PVC or rigid conduit.
