I can you show several photos of PVC pulling out of meter enclosures that are only 4' in length

Most of the problem I see with PVC pulling down/out of the meter base is caused by poor installation. The sweep is put on but doesn't touch the bottom of the trench. I always either shovel dirt under it or put a brick, or rock under the sweep to support it. That doesn't prevent earth movement, but stops gravity from adding to the problem.

I went to repair one where the PVC had dropped down. The HO just couldn't understand why it dropped down. He had a sidewalk poured right over the UG conduit & sweep.

But an expansion fitting would prevent it from happening per 352.44
