The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that PVC conduit be buried at least 18 inches deep for residential installations and 24 inches deep for non-residential installations. However, local electrical codes may require depths up to 30 inches depending on the application and exposure.
In a common area in a condominium complex ( NOT parking or roadway ) I encountered many pvc conduits with less than 12" of cover.
The compex is old ( built in 1970 ) but I would think that 120/240 volt conduit would need 18" of cover.....
Am I correct ??
