What happens here

Once the existing conduit is cut, the 3-inch PVC expansion coupling is inserted into the gap. This coupling is designed to slide and accommodate future ground movement, preventing the conduit from pulling away from the meter socket again. The coupling is installed with a tight fit, and PVC cement is typically used to create a permanent, watertight seal between the coupling and the existing conduit sections (though not explicitly shown, it's standard practice for PVC installations).

Goal: Integrate the expansion coupling to provide conduit flexibility.
