Carlon 6P rated or other small underground splice boxes

[flick]

Just wondering if anyone has used these boxes and whether they are acceptable in residential applications.

I'd like to use one to repair a long underground run to a gate opener. The conduit and wires were cut, and this would be great if I could use it as an underground splice box to repair this installation.

Any comments or experience with these or other direct burial splice/junction boxes that I could use?

Thanks for your help.

according to their website it doesn't look like they are allowed to be used underground.

There are direct burial splice kits for severed underground cables. This would eliminate the need for a box. Besides the box might make your conductors very short and limit your ability to splice them.


Here is one type:

Trevor,
If the conductors are in a raceway, you can't use a cable splice kit.

You're right Don. I read through the post so quickly I missed that part. Sorry for the confusion. I would pull out the conductors, repair the conduit and re-pull new ones.

I'm trying to avoid pulling out the conductors if possible. What other options are available? Surely there is a listed box available from someone?

A handhole enclosure.

I agree a handhole enclosure is a good solution. If in conduit you can cut off the home run and install a 90 to turn it up into the handhole enclosure.
If it won't be driven over, a NM handhole enclosure will work fine.
