broken gal conduit

[101010]

any easy way to fix gal that was broken in ground? Wires are fine. Do they make a kit like they do for pvc?

cut out a section and replace it with sealtite? (can you bury sealtite or is that only for the nonmetallic stuff?)

How do you get the wires inside?

Can't tell you that. It's a trade secret.

You slice it and slip it over the wires, then get a piece of 1" PVC and slice it and slide it over the whole repair so that it looks like it was PVC all along. Then tell the inspector "you know our work, we wouldn't do something like that.":grin:

What about this system...

Also did not see any listing, but at least its called conduit.

But only non-metallic...the OP needs a repair for rigid galvanized conduit.

Well scratch that one :roll:

The listing requirement is going to be the biggest problem.

If the wires are good, pull 'em out, fix the conduit and pull 'em back in...
