I have a project where we will be installing a 26kW generator outside a single family residence. The generator will be ~8' from the house.
I'm thinking of driving a few sticks of unistrut into the ground and using that to attach the NG line and my conduit. I've never used this method but have certainly seen it installed many places. I'm curious for any opinions on this method for this installation.
If I only need 12-18" above ground, how deep would you drive it? I'm picturing a couple feet.
I was thinking of driving it directly into the ground but should I go the extra mile with concrete to prevent rapid corrosion? I'm a little concerned about hitting a rock and making my strut crooked so maybe concrete makes more sense anyway.
Is there cause for concern with an inspector if this isn't an approved installation method with the strut manufacturer?
