Can I run Romex through PVC conduit underground?
Can I run Romex through PVC conduit underground?
I am running power to a small shed 130" away from the house undergroung in PVC. I found that buying stranded wire is more expensive than solid romex at 10/2. I'm not pulling it through so that won't be an issue.
I just want to know if there should be any problems with that or should I just use seperate stranded wire?
I am planning on:
Get underground romex or run it through grey electrical pvc
I am only going to run a 15 amp subpanel to supply power to two small flourecent fixtures and one outlet for a radio or just use something small. Can I use 12 gauage or should I just stick with 10.
I know code is 18" below ground with a loactor ribbon above it. What about the wire and conduit, what does the code say for that?
you can run romex through pvc pipe no problem. But at 130 feet thats a long run you will have voltage drop. You would only be able to run less than 24 amps. If all you are going to use is a light or a single outlet, thats fine. But if you are needing to run more than that you need to run 3 number 8's with a # 10 for ground.
