Conduit removal and placing the pedestal
Cut and remove the conduit
If placing FOCIC, mark two ring cut locations on the conduit 14 feet (4.3 m) apart or 7 feet (2.1 m) from the center
of the loop. Use a ring cutter to cut the conduit. Slit the conduit between the ring cuts with a mechanical conduit slit-
ter. Remove the cut conduit.
Place the pedestal
If placing FOCIC, leave about 6 in. (15 cm) of each end of conduit above ground level. Fill the trench and tamp
down the dirt. Place the pedestal base over the conduit ends and bury it the recommended depth in the dirt. Backfill
the trench.
Loop the cable so that the pedestal cover will fit properly. Place the pedestal cap in position.
