I have been using the Black Poly Pipe they sell at Lowe's (and that other big box store) with success.  Less expensive than PVC, either the white plumbing or the grey electrical and you can buy it 50 & 100 feet lengths which means no joints underground to fail.  The only down side is the biggest I have found is 2" but that is plenty big enough for a couple of RG-213 and an six wire rotor cable.

  Hey folks....

  I have been using BuryFlex with excellent results.  I'd like to use some LMR cable and take it under ground via plastic pipe for a 30 foot run.  Is there any special pipe I need or will any of the "standard" PVC pipe work?

  Thanks, and 73 John W4II
