Anticipating some problems?infinity said:Even if there was an approved method, how do you plan on getting the old coupling off?

You would certainly have to be careful.infinity said:A broken coupling that's been glued to the conduit would be a problem if you were trying a repair without removing the conductors first. That seems to be what Jersey is trying to do.

Why are you both suggesting using sched. 80? Not every service is subject to damage.peter said:D . . . as suggested, replace with heavier schedule 80.
Well, I did say in my post that I was assuming. However if it's above grade and it's a PVC service, then it's schedule 80. Always has been, always will be.LarryFine said:Why are you both suggesting using sched. 80? Not every service is subject to damage.
