So I goofed....
Long story short I was in a rush and didn't dry fit my expansion joint after I glued the adjacent conduit. The joint is now expanded about 1" past the center mark.
It's going to shrink when it cools off. The pipe may settle (sweep is on virgin ground). It may heave when I get frost.
Leave it, or try to cut a section and fix?
Are standard couplings OK for schd 80?
The longer story: Should have waited until there was a second set of hands, was trying to glue a joint and realized conduit pushed back into house, so ran around to push it back. Didn't double check alignments and had just enough time to run back and twist a fitting before it set. When I was done that debacle I absent mindedly looked at the short piece I had to hold an LB during mockup, picked up the longer section of conduit I had prepped and cut an inch off because it looked long. Halfway into glueing I realized my error but was committed at that point.
