Troubleshooting

Ensure the conduit ends are cut cleanly and squarely. Slightly warm the conduit end if it is very stiff, or check if the conduit diameter matches the tee precisely.
Cables snagging during pulling.
Verify the internal surface of the tee and conduit is free from obstructions or burrs. Ensure the tee is correctly seated and aligned with the conduit run.
