I still don't understand the "French drain" stuff. I have a 70' run of two
3", one 2.5", and two 11/4" conduits from my tower to my house. At each end,
I have the conduit terminated in metal 18" X 16" X6" NEMA 4 boxes. The
boxes allow the conduit to breath and in the seven years they have been
installed, all I've found in them is cob webs. I just pulled some Cat 5E in
one of the 11/4" runs and it was as dry as a bone.
Like a lot of the Southeast we are currently in the middle of a freezing
lake... flood, then ice, finishing with snow. In other words a lot of
moisture. If I had used the "French drain" my coax coax would be swimming.
