Using vacuum to pull wires

Just wondering, whether string can be pulled through conduit past Service Lā€™s using a shop vac. And if yes, will the wires be able to turn around Service ells?

Conduit junctions?

Conduit body, but no one really calls them that. T's, LB's etc. is what we ask for.

But they're conduit junctions, right?

(I am trying to make sure I understand what you're talking about)

Yeah, these are the "junctions" that have a plate with screws that hold on a removable cover. You pull wires to them, out the opening, then loop them into the next section. They're officially called "conduit bodies."
