Hi,
I am using a non metallic Nema 6P 6" x 6" x 4" enclosure buried at 18" which contains splices for landscape lighting (120V).
The code book says 6P is equivalent to 3R and also for temporary submersion. I am assuming that it is OK for direct burial, but it does not specifically say so.
Is this OK to use? If not, what type of box is suitable for direct burial.
To meet the requirements of 314.29, I am also installing a 10" PVC pipe 18" long to allow access from grade level to the junction box. I am keeping the box at 18" so my PVC conduit can enter, and to keep it low as not to have any "physical protection" issues.
Thoughts?
