Can you fit 25mm conduit to a 20mm back box?

Hello,

Im really new to the world of conduit. I have some 25mm pvc conduit and cant for the life of me seem to fit back boxes with 25mm knockouts. Is there an adapter that fits a 25mm conduit in to a 20mm back box? Can i cut a 25mm hole in the back box? Do the 20mm male adapters allow for 25mm conduit to go into 20mm back boxes?

Ok thank you, its not for a customer, its for me i like the idea of making the whole bigger

Making a hole a whole lot bigger always does the trick....or as the Spanish say......
....'Oe'.

Whether the box is soft plastic or metal, a metal cone cutter should do the job, as long as you have the box depth.

One the hole has been made, qould you recommend a male or a female connector?

Generally, female conduit coupler to male bush is better, leaving more room inside the box, but it depends on the situation.
