I need to get four circuits to a kitchen island. House is built on a concrete slab.
My preferred way of doing this is to transition from Romex to discrete wires in a J-Box on a wall near the kitchen island. Run PVC conduit under the slab for the discrete wires, then inside the kitchen island transition back from the discrete wires to Romex using an accessible J-Box. (Locating this 3 or 4 gang J-Box in the kitchen island may be a bit tricky.)
A common practice in our area is simply to run UF cable ?all the way" and pull the UF cable through the PVC conduit. With one circuit this might make sense, however with four circuits I would need a fairly large PVC conduit, or multiple conduits.
Opinions welcome.
