What should be done to all cut ends of rigid conduit?

The cut ends of rigid conduit should be reamed to remove any sharp edges or burrs that may have formed during the cutting process. This is essential for a couple of reasons: first, sharp edges can pose a safety risk, potentially causing injury to individuals handling the conduit or leading to damage to wires and cables that will pass through the conduit. Second, reaming ensures a smoother fit between conduit fittings and the conduit itself, facilitating easier assembly and improving electrical connections by minimizing resistance at junctions. By performing this task, you enhance both safety and efficiency during installation.
