Hi I have a 1-1/2" PVC pipe that goes underground. Inside of it carries

It shouldn't be Romex, as that is not approved for underground use.
So double check the cable type--if it is Romex, you need to replace
the whole cable, in which case your conduit repair problem is much
easier.


True, but if it is gray and looks like Romex and is marked UF, it is the
right wire for underground work.
