Abstract:
1. A method of linking lengths of conduit using a connector having internal thread, the conduit having external threads at each end, comprising: arranging a first piece of conduit, the connector, and a second piece of conduit so that a proximal end of the first piece of conduit is attached to the connector, and so the connector is abutting a distal end of the second piece of conduit; engaging a proximal end of the second piece of conduit with a motorized tool, the motorized tool comprising a motor coupled to a bit so that the motor can cause the bit to rotate, the bit including a drive ring having internal threads, the internal threads being adapted to cooperate with external threads on the proximal end of the second piece of conduit; and actuating the motorized tool so that the bit rotates and causes the second piece of conduit to rotate until the distal end of the second piece of conduit is seated in the connector.
