ANACONDA CONDUIT EASY TO INSTALL With a large diversity of applications, usage and installation, there is a variety of possibilities for cutting, sawing of conduit. In this overview we will try to mention the most important. 11-00 A B C D E F G H I Sawing in a non-production environment The easiest way to cut Anaconda conduit with or without a cover, in a non-production environment is with a hacksaw (Fig. E). Another often used method is to break the conduit (only possible with square-locked profi le) and cut it with tin snips or steel shears (Fig. G and H). For conduit “with cover”, we advise to cut the cover fi rst with a knife before breaking the conduit. For braided conduit, we advise to put a band of masking tape over the conduit before cutting, at the site of the cut, this also makes fi ttings easier to install (Fig. F). For full-plastic conduits the same procedure can be used, cutting with a craft knife is also an option. At larger sizes, from 1.1/2”, the usage of a cutting-fl ex is an option (Fig. I). Sawing in a production environment The easiest way to cut Anaconda conduit in a production environment is with a band saw. By using a 4 - 5 mm wide, 0,6 - 0,8 mm thick band. Metal conduit “without cover” are easy to cut with a high speed band saw with 24 teeth per inch band (Fig. A). Conduit “with cover” will need a band with about ca. 20 teeth per inch at a medium speed (Fig. B). All safety precautions should be taken care of. For braided conduit, we advise to put a band of masking tape over the conduit before cutting,at the site of the cut, this also makes fi ttings easier to install (Fig. C). For full-plastic conduits the same procedure can be used, cutting with a craft knife is also an option (Fig. D). At larger sizes, from 1.1/2”, the usage of a cutting-fl ex is an option (Fig. I).
