  • That's if you bury them, iirc. They don't have to be buried.

    Oh for sure. I'd happily have them in the air, or surface mount on the ground (albeit with the galv conduit as extra mechanical protection to stop it getting kicked when he goes between the shed and cabin to store wood there).

    This issue lies with his insistence on burying them. I think I'm going to suggest the chase + conduit, with no backfill idea. So the result will be flush, but not technically buried.

    I'm not registered (christ, it's my first job as a spark), so I'll have to get it signed off by someone else, so don't want to do anything that'll raise eyebrows.

  • But what I mean is, chasing a groove to lay the galv conduit in, but having it visible/not filling it in. Essentially surface mounted, just recessed. Or is that a no-no? Or should I just surface mount the conduit on the ground and be done with it?
