I can almost guarantee that 'drilling' a hole in the pvc will not work....for long.
If there is enough moisture to flow down to the hole, it will quickly accumalate enough debris to clog a hole.
A REAL TEE or FOUR WAY is the proper technique.
The suggestion of a dry well with gravel is proper technique.

What are the thoughts pertaining to condensation in the pvc pipe.  Do you
drill holes in the pvc pipe at the low points or just let the cables set
in
water? Thanks

I have always intentionally put in a low spot. I put a hole in the conduit under the low spot and put a nice little batch of rocks in the trench under the hole. I have never had water fill the conduit (so far).

73 and Merry Christmas,
Joe
