pvc verses cpvc

[william h.]

My question has to do with does the code allow the use of cpvc for under ground electrical conductors or at all instead of sch. 40 or 80 pvc.

thanks,
William

CPVC is water pipe.

CPVC is water pipe.

Ditto! It is an approved material for water distribution systems.

Well, someone didn't know that, get the memo or care:

CPVC isn't good ABOVE ground either


Found outside a furniture store on Rt.1&9N around Linden, NJ.

FWIW, you can use CPCV as a sleeve underground to protect direct-burial-rated cables and conductors.

I'd say "didn't care." That's a broken NMFC fitting, too. :roll:
