Didn't : esquimos eat them before McDonalds opened up in the Arctic? Nor can my cats - hence a slightly high SWR on 70cms recently and a popped diode or two! Burying coaxial cable.

I have not done so but have heard two ways to go about doing this. One idea is to bury the pipe and drill drainage holes in it to allow moisture an escape route. I contend that this will also allow moisture to enter, though the detrimental effects on the coax would still be much less than if it were subjected to sunlight and the other elements.
The other idea is to bury the solid pipe sans drainage holes and seal both ends with goodly amounts of coaxial sealant so as to eliminate the intrusion of moisture and various small insects.
I plan to use two 45 degree elbows on each end so as to not have a severe 90 degree bend to fish the cable through and to also allow abit of a down angle for a rain drip loop. As of now I am just looking for input from others who have done this, one way or the other.
Thank you for your help. Plubius wrote:. TNX for the reply Dan Richardson. Bob Lewis. They make "swept 90s" for PVC which will give you a 90 deg turn with a large radius. I need to put in 2 RG-8 coax from my house to the antenna through one condit.
I'm thinking of using 1" electrical conduit. Does anyone have an opinion if 1" will work, or do I need to go to the next larger size. I was thinking that 1" conduit would probably work. Will the 1" work or do I need to go to the next larger size?
IMHO one inch is too small. Increasing the size to 3 or even 4 inches won't drive the cost that much. It'll make your pull easier and permit the addition of a few more cables if needed later on. Plastic flex drain pipe is cheep but you run the risk of cable ends catching on the corregations. I'd go for PVC from an electrical house.
Gary Coffman. Gary V. Deutschmann, Sr. Why would you want to use conduit anyhow? Reg Edwards. Polyethylene-sheathed international communications coax cables have been used, without armouring, for 40 years or more on the ocean bottoms. And salt water under great pressure is very corrosive. I want to protect it from physical damage. We will be doing some landscaping between the house and the antenna and I want to make sure that the cables have some protection from a shovel.
Several companies sell direct burial RG At 65 cents a foot plus shipping, its not much more than standard RG So what you've already got the RG-8, the conduit is going to cost more than 65 cents a foot.
I have also heard of people putting the coaxial cable in garden hose, and sealing the ends with duct seal. Also if the cable is larger, or you plan to use more than one, the farmers use a black plastic Pipe which is sold coiled up, by the foot. This also would work. The 90 degree bends aren't too bad, just make the radius very long, in other words, dont try to make a 90 degree "kink" make the turns gradual! Rick Rikoski. Jim Rodenkirch. If you think one inch is sufficient I'll assume you've measured the diameter and times that number by two , double the result at a minimum.
Attach any desired fixtures in the shed or on outside and run wire as needed. Tie in NM wires from fixtures and receptacles into sub panel breakers as needed. Turn off the electricity inside the home at the main breaker panel. The National Electrical Code does not specify whether power and water can or cannot be run in the same trench.
A trencher is a piece of construction equipment used to dig trenches , especially for laying pipes or electrical cables, for installing drainage, or in preparation for trench warfare. Trenchers may range in size from walk-behind models, to attachments for a skid loader or tractor, to very heavy tracked heavy equipment. In my opinion not an electrician , burying UF cable is perfectly acceptable, and in most cases will last 30 years and more.
Exterior coaxial cable should never run sideways or downward and directly into your house. Rainwater will adhere to the cable and follow it right into your home.
A feed-through bushing will allow you to drill a slightly larger hole so you can fish the cable through the wall without damaging it. However, if you only need a power supply without wires to control lights from inside the house, you can use a direct burial cable, placed in the soil without conduit. On the other hand, if you use conduit , the trench needs to be only 18 inches below the surface.
Usually it'll take 2 days or so for someone to come out and survey the yard. Then, usually around 2 weeks for them to trench and bury the line. Meter sockets and power masts attached to a house are the responsibility of the homeowner. OPPD is responsible for the wires from the power pole to the point just before they enter a property's conduit system.
