Maybe I don't understand the strength of UF, but 12" seems fucking shallow. It really will be fine?You can put it in conduit. Kinda dumb since it's meant to be direct buried but w/e

How often are you digging 12" down?Maybe I don't understand the strength of UF, but 12" seems fucking shallow. It really will be fine?
@APRIL poops outside like a cat. He covers a lot of it with the poopshovelHow often are you digging 12" down?
itll be fine for fly, but running UF in conduit is not recommended (firstoff, becuase its a pain in the ass, and second because you have to derate it based on conduit fill.No, you can run UF in conduit.
But just to make sure, maybe you should try MMS'ing the electricity to your email first.
Yeah, I assumed his DTs would prevent running it in anything smaller.itll be fine for fly, but running UF in conduit is not recommended (firstoff, becuase its a pain in the ass, and second because you have to derate it based on conduit fill.
Both those problems can be solved by just running 2 inch conduit.
It will obviously be fine for me, but just seems dangerous for whoever owns the place after me.How often are you digging 12" down?
I don't think anyone excavating to a depth of 12" will have any less trouble with a piece of PVC than a direct bury wire.It will obviously be fine for me, but just seems dangerous for whoever owns the place after me.
Assuming they know its there. GFCI BLAH BLAH BLAH. Just seems crazy to me.I don't think anyone excavating to a depth of 12" will have any less trouble with a piece of PVC than a direct bury wire.
Besides, what are they going to do, electrocute themselves? That's what breakers are for.
you mean jenkums "fuck whoever comes after you" logic?Assuming they know its there. GFCI BLAH BLAH BLAH. Just seems crazy to me.
However, based on all your responses, I'll just direct bury it.
god i hate uf insulatorWait till you have to strip it, it's pretty tough.
I'd feel a bit better about that. Good idea. Thanks!Bury it direct with no PVC and put yellow caution tape 6" above it when you backfill the trench. That warns people that there is a buried line.
While a good idea, it seems that shit is $$$ for just a 10' run. Regular caution tape it is...even better, metallic caution tape, so it shows up on cable surveys.
Cable shows up on cable surveys too derpeven better, metallic caution tape, so it shows up on cable surveys.
