We recommend using a roller cutter to cut coated conduit. In addition to producing a square cut end, the roller cutter will remove approximately 1/4" of the PVC coating, aiding in conduit threading. Conventional manual or power saws may also be used to cut conduit. Use a reamer to remove any rough edges from the conduit interior caused by the cutting operation. This ensures that the wire pulled through the conduit will not be damaged.
