can this be run in pvc and buried?

I am certainly not an expert, but I did pull this cable through PVC pipes that were buried.

Yes. I used it in buried PVC pipes. It is supposed to be capable of direct burial but I wanted it protected.
239263
Yes, I have used it both in the grey PVC runs, directly under soil, and outdoors with direct sun exposure. No issues so far. There are gel filled cables to avoid water intrusion, but I haven't found it necessary unless you are running it in an area that stays very wet.

I have already burried without conduit, very well cased wire, heavy duty! Would highly recommend!

Yes. It is designed for direct burial in the ground but putting it in pvc conduit is the best way for it to last the longest. I always put it in conduit. Just make sure you do not pull to hard and stretch the cable. Bigger conduit is better. Wire lube in bends helps as well.

Probably!You'd have to a very large pipe of course.Drilling holes in PVC can get messy and might ruin eqpt as the plastic melts on the saws.I made a flower tower using chicken wire and weed fabric.

I don't think it can be buried. The thermostat comes on around 38 degrees. You can wrap the pipe and then wrap your insulation. We used a foil type insulation that we had left over from putting it between the trusses close to the roof, inside the attic. Orkin sells that product. You can also wrap it closer than they recommend..sounds like you live in a really cold climate. This is definitely worth the money. when it's working we don't have to worry about frozen pipes. We did not wrap any 4" pipes.

Yes, you can bury in the ground with pvc for protection against frost movement of rocks and tree roots. pvc pipe is cheap. In the future you may plant something forgetting where the cable is and cut it with a shovel. As an electrican I never put any kind of cable in the ground without some lind of abrasion protection. It sure beats having to replace a whole cable because someone cut it years from now digging a hole for a bush.

I believe so. I do not think it would get warm enough to melt the PVC. I have one installed on a water inlet pipe, but its metal. and its only going to come on anyway if its close to freezing.Plus you'll have to insulate around the pipe, after you install the it to keep the heat in.

As long as you have adequate diameter, I don't see why not. You may need to fasten it securely to the PVC.

Yes...I supposed it could be buried...in colder climates you would need to leave a slope in it so the water continued to flow through it and not pool inside then freeze and crack the pipe

Not underneath...you'd have to run a line to a tank, if you didn't want the tank visible, or do like we did and run an underground line to a large butane tank.

U would need some adapters from the intex fittings (hoses) to pvc, check out YouTube for more details on this

I probably wouldn't try it outside. Fear of possible rusting. Go for some of the PVC versions, or plastic.

Yes you can. It works on different sizes of PVC. Take it to the hardware store and test some sizes out first before getting the pipes to see what you like better.

Hi, I was able to run it underground to my shed which has sheetrock and is insulated. I then was able to cut some of the sheetrock out and run it behind the sheetrock and turn it at the corners in order to get it to the other side of the shed.If you are running it on the outside of the wall it will not go right against the wall corner as it I don't believe you should bend or crease it. You might be an inch or two away from the 90 degree corner on the outside of the wall but inside it works fine. I hope that helps you.

You need to use metal venting. I had previously had metal for two former heaters. My unit is gas fired. PVC would not be recommended.

Absolutely, build your frame out of pvc piping! When you're done just roll it up.

If your going to bury it I would use duct pipe (PVC) to run it through and cap the ends with caulking, that way if you have to replace or move it later you can just pull it out and feed new cable through. I do that with all my cables, speaker wires and low power lines for outdoor trains.

Hi Jamie No the cable is not shielded nor is it rated for direct burial. Keep in mind shielded CAT6 is very expensive, and unless it really need for your application, such as around extremely high voltage transformer or power feed cables, it isn't need in a office/home environment. Last time I did a job in NJ at a power substation I paid $899 per 1000' spool. Secondly if you are going to be burying the cable I would suggest using Grey PVC conduit, a roll of non-metalic water tight conduit; then you wouldn't have to worry about the cable being outdoor rated or a need for shielded. Also be sure to check with your local building department for low voltage regulations, and call for a underground mark out for utilities.

It can be, but I would run it under eaves or somewhere protected from direct sunlight and weather. They are not really meant for outdoor use, but I run them when I have to.
