Re: [TowerTalk] A dumb question

["jcjacobsen@q.com" <jcjacobsen@q.com>]

A question was asked about how deep to bury a coax run. It was then brought up 
about electrical codes and depth of 18". 


If I remember, those ONLY apply to circuits carrying 110/220 household 
voltages. AND those areas are further "complicated" by how much amperage and 
how the run is protected at the source ie: breaker box. 


I don't believe there is a code for low voltage or coax runs. Look at all the 
low voltage lighting in flower beds and along sidewalks. AND cable tv 
installers cut a slit and shove in the cable. It's your problem if you hit it 
with you core aerator while working on your lawn. 


I guess it boils down to how much digging you want to do. 


There have been some good ideas about using perforated conduit. I just wouldn't 
use the corrugated kind used for drain tile in basements. 


As always, YMMV.
