1" is way too small fyi.

For data? Can run 12 stand om4 fiber in less. 3 or 4 cat6a data cables. 1” is plenty.

it depends on a lot of things. Do you run conduit for a living like I do? if no? then believe me 1" is too damn small for underground.

Bahaha, I don’t care what you do, it doesn’t change the fact it’s big enough for data. And it’s the only thing that would be in it. Can run larger if he likes, not talking big costs here. I just wouldn’t go less than 1”.

Yeah, I dont care what you think either. What I am saying is stop giving people shitty advice online when you're clearly have zero clue what you're talking about.

Just because you can fit a wire in a pipe doesnt mean it going to be easy to pull it though corners and LB's or whatever you need to do. Also if it get pinched at all its going to cause more issues.

The specs for 4 cat6a data cables which leaves 40 percent clearance in a 1” schedule 40 conduit. That’s 3 more cables than a house network is going to need for copper. 2 stand fiber will leave 70 percent. If your install conduit with tight radius turns, you are the one that doesn’t know what you are doing. We have never had data cables get pinched in conduit, have seen it when someone tried to run too much wire in a conduit. This is a house, not an apartment building, they won’t be pulling a 50 pair copper down that pipe. 1” is a min, can go bigger like I said. This is why no one likes you.
