The Hearthill EBK2-130K Electric Blower Box Kit offers contractors in New Zealand an effective and professional-grade solution for roping and cable installation tasks. This kit is perfect for hire from HTC, enabling you to complete conduit stringing, pull line installation or cable draw tasks efficiently without the capital cost of equipment purchase.
Key features & specifications:
-
High-volume, low-pressure system engineered to blow a balloon-type bag attached to a draw-line through conduit.
-
The draw-line can then be used to pull a heavier hauling rope back to the start position.
-
Capable of “roping” a 100 mm conduit over 300–500 m distance, making it suitable for long-haul runs.
-
Dual-stage motor delivering approximately 3.5 m³ of air per minute (≈ 1300 W, 240 V operation) for NZ voltage compatibility.
-
Kit includes:
-
1× Blower EBK2-1300 unit
-
5 m × 50 mm hose (EBP-5M50)
-
“Hand-Gun” EBH-30 for deployment
-
Conduit seal-offs ECS-12, ECS-50, ECS-110 (to suit 12-40 mm, 40-70 mm, 70-160 mm respectively)
-
Rope grommets for 3 mm, 5 mm and 7 mm draw-lines.
-

Renting from HTC allows you to access specialist equipment only when required, reducing overhead and storage costs.
-
Suitable for NZ contractors needing reliable conduit roping tooling for short-term projects, urban or rural sites.

Civil works and infrastructure projects requiring long-distance conduit blowing capability (up to 300-500 m) without compressor equipment.
Hire considerations & site notes:
-
Ensure your site connection supplies 240 V compatible power and has suitable protection.
-
Use appropriate PPE and ensure conduit runs are clear of obstructions or water ingress.

Use the included hose and seal-offs to maintain a controlled blowing environment, avoid blow-back or bag escape.
