Wiring in conduit

Outside the already suggested obvious, then, you have one of two choices--do the fully-right-code-compliant way or bite the bullet and make the splice (on the assumption by the time there's a problem it won't be yours to solve, anyway :) ). If you do choose the splice route, just be sure it's made to handle the underground conditions to be expected and sturdy enough mechanically to handle the pull. I had to repair a buried (no conduit) line to the well (wouldn't you know that in an open area of a couple acres after eyeballing the run from the pumphouse to the well I'd manage to set a post directly on the run. If I'd been _trying_ to find it, otoh, I'd been all around.. :( ). It's been almost 10 years so far w/ no problems so it can be done physically; it's still not going to be code-compliant if that were to be an issue (needing permits, etc., ...). All in all, it would seem the extra investment in the wire is moderately cheap given all else that must be going into the project (one assumes there's something going on the end of the run... :) ). Perhaps, even, one could get something back from the other wire via Craig's list or similar to defray a portion of the outlay if $$ really are _that_ tight... -- |
