What happens here

To install the expansion coupling, first apply PVC cement to the outside of the 2-inch PVC electrical conduit and generously to the inside of the expansion coupling. Ensure good coverage. Align the conduit with the coupling and firmly hammer the conduit into the coupling until it is fully seated and secured. This creates a strong, waterproof seal, essential for outdoor electrical installations. The finished connection should be clean and fresh, as the electrician describes it.

Goal: Securely attach the expansion coupling to the electrical conduit.

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — Securing the conduit into the expansion coupling
  • Work Gloves Crescent — Protecting hands during the installation process
  • 2" PVC Electrical Conduit — Connecting to the expansion coupling
  • PVC Cement — Creating a waterproof bond between the conduit and coupling

penetrate. That's why I have this bell end coming in here. Oh. >> Very minimal. Okay, that's a great tip. I'm just I'm just watching. I'm an apprentice. So, what are you putting on? Are you gluing? How much glue are you putting on? Just a coat of primer. I go inside and out. Nice. I like to take a knot. Ah. It's nice, right? Yeah, it's good. Looks good, dude. Fresh, clean as a whistle.
