i have tried this on both ends. the suction is not making it to the other side.


This indicates your flex pipe might be cut. A small pipe like that should maintain a suction over that distance. Feeding the fish tape each end may let you identify the problem area if there aren’t too many sharp turns in it.

For $40 you can buy a cool Bluetooth endoscope on amazon. Has about a 10 or 15 foot semi rigid cable. You can maybe see what’s going on. You’ll get color video to your iPhone.

Great tool that you’ll use way more than you ever thought. Even has a hook attachment that allows you to retrieve items after finding them.

i installed the pull string with a shop vac, string, and plastic bag prior to me running the tube through the house. Whit the loss of suction, something is telling me the tube was cut when they were install the drywall.

the scope you mentioned seems cool but at this rate i might as well look into a wireless hdmi port now and forget the tube.
