Electrical PVC

[peter d]

OK, my bad. I did not mean to imply I would use water pipe as a substitute for PVC conduit used as a raceway. If I am running direct burial cables or conductors, I have used it for a sleeve under a sidewalk or any other place I felt I needed it.

I see nothing wrong with this.

If I am running direct burial cables or conductors, I have used it for a sleeve under a sidewalk or any other place I felt I needed it. These were used in short lengths and in occassional situations. I have done this in Oklahoma, Colorado, and Texas, all with inspections. Sorry for the confusion.

Thats a horse of a different color, er...I mean a pipe of a different color.

Question? Is it required by the NEC to put pvc primer before puting the pvc cement when you connect two pvc conduits? I know alot of electricians that don't use primer, they just use the cement.
