Conduit termination

[sands35]

I have a few conduits entering the garage from the outside.

I'll have one 12-2 feeder going to a small shed and one 12-2 feed going to an AC disconnect box. Neither really requires conduit all the way back to the breaker panel.

What is the acceptable way to terminate a PVC conduit if it doesn't end up in a junction box?

metallic clamp on a PVC threaded fitting at the end of the conduit?

I would use a bell end and then just staple the wire right before it goes into the conduit.

OK - simple enough.

(From memory....) I've seen 2" bell ends, but not 1" or 3/4" at HD / Lowes... I suppose those are common parts from a proper electrical supply house?

Using a glue on threaded coupling with a NM connector is okay, but not necessary. PVC doesn't need to have a termination end. Just sand or deburr the end so not to have any sharp edges and staple the romex within 12" of where it exits the conduit.
