Alternative to Conduit Repairs:
Prior to concrete pour, measure and saw cut all conduit stub-ups to the
thickness of the concrete pour. Insert plugs. Pour concrete flush to the
conduit. When pour is complete, remove plugs and proceed with Step
3. This alternative method saves time/money by eliminating the need for
transitions or use of metal elbows.
