Methods for joining extended lengths of conduit

A method of joining extended lengths of conduit, said method comprising the steps of:

• connecting an apparatus for joining lengths of conduit to a near end of a length of conduit, wherein said apparatus comprises:
• a cylindrical apparatus head with a torque application interface arranged around the circumference of said cylindrical apparatus head comprising indentions between two shoulders;
• an extender joining body;
• an abutting plate;
• and,
• a cylindrical conduit interface comprising a threaded interior surface placing two or more lengths of conduit in series to said near end of a length of conduit along a length of tract to which conduit is to be laid;
• placing conduit couplings between each of said lengths of conduit;
• attaching said conduit couplings by a screwing motion to the ends of each of said lengths of conduit to begin threading said conduit coupling to said lengths of conduit;
• stabilizing a terminal end of said lengths of conduit to prevent rotation;
• and,
• applying torque to said torque application interface, wherein said apparatus screws said lengths of conduit to each of said conduit couplings joining said lengths of conduit.

A method of joining extended lengths of threaded conduit, said method comprising the steps of:

• placing two or more lengths of threaded conduit in series along a length of tract to which conduit is to be laid;
• between each of said lengths of conduit placing conduit couplings;
• attaching said conduit couplings by a screwing motion to the ends of each of said lengths of conduit to begin threading said conduit coupling to said lengths of conduit;
• stabilizing a terminal end of said lengths of conduit to prevent rotation;
• connecting an apparatus for joining lengths of conduit to a near end of said lengths of conduit, wherein said apparatus comprises:
• a cylindrical apparatus head with a torque application interface arranged around the circumference of said cylindrical apparatus head comprising indentions between two shoulders;
• an extender joining body comprising open venting regions around the circumference of said extender joining body;
• an abutting plate, wherein said abutting plate is permanently fixed to the conduit interface;
• and,
• a cylindrical conduit interface comprising a threaded interior surface for interfacing with conduit having a diameter selected from the group consisting of ½ inch, ¾ inch, 1 inch, 1¼ inch, 1½ inch, 2 inch, 2½ inch, 3 inch, 3½ inch, 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch, 16 mm, 21 mm, 27 mm, 35 mm, 41 mm, 53 mm, 63 mm, 78 mm, 91 mm, 103 mm, 129 mm, or 155 mm conduit;
• and,
• applying torque to said torque application interface, wherein said apparatus screws said lengths of conduit to each of said conduit couplings joining said lengths of conduit.
