unions and ericksons

[jackie martin]

can you direct bury a union or erickson?and where in the nec can you find it?

I would think this would be more of a mfg listing issue and not really covered by the NEC. If the mfg listed the union/erickson for burial you're good to go.

I don't think we are allowed to discuss unions.

What about ericksons? Won't the Norse feel discriminated against? :grin:

I've buried a lot of ericksons over the years. I hope it was all right, because the plans showed to do it. :smile:

Very clever. I have a weakness for that style of humor.

Back to the OP question. Arlington link states 'concrete tite' & 'liquid tite'.
Seems like I've buried quite a few over the years too. A discussion a while back went something like this:
"couplings" can be buried; "fittings" cannot be buried. This was based on 'definitions'. Arlington calls them 'couplings', so..110.3 (b) stretched?

On a serious note; a 3 piece coupling is a coupling. No access should be required, as a 'regular coupling' does not require access. End of debate.
