Wire/cable runs inside buried conduit

Not open for further replies.
I hate to bring up this since it has been before, but I wanted to clarify what I already know or have read regarding NM cable inside a buried PVC conduit;

1. 24" depth (under grass)
2. Grey PVC pipe (not white)
3. A yellow (?) marker tape run just above the pipe.
4. UF rated Roimex (UF) or THWN indvidual conductors
5. NM is allowd in conduit ABOVE ground (non wet locations).
6. Less than 60% fill factor in conduit

Ok, how's that??

Questions;

A. What is the "heating" issue within conduit?
B. Are GFI outlets required INSIDE a garage?
C. Expansion joints, are they required on the horitzontal and vertical runs?
D. Can neutrals and 'hots' be 'ganged' within a single screw terminal?

what type of installer are you ... we're not supposed to give advice to non-electrical types ... alll your questions are answered in the code book ... if you are an Electrician you'd know this ... please don't be upset ... your first statement about NM underground I was sceptical ... have a good day ... M

ps ... your questions "scare me" ... they're the type that if I answer them I look in the paper for a while to see if any houses burned down or an electrocution occured ... m

VideoBruce your are an installer of what?
Your questions are basic and nearly all electricians will know the answers. For example for question 1, its in Art 100 definitions.
I'll lock the post and you can PM me if you are an electrican.
