[TowerTalk] Buring Bury-Flex

[Joe K2UF]

Larry,

I am running it in 4" PVC that gets flooded.  I called Davis and talked with
their tech support.  They told me there was no problem in standing water.  I
would call them about the freeze/thaw cycle.  They are very helpful.  Best
to get the info right from the "horses mouth".

Subject: [TowerTalk] Buring Bury-Flex

Hi all,

I am running Davis Bury-Flex out to a new 40M vertical in my back yard.
(Maine coast.)  As it is going across gravel walkways and near garden beds,
and will not be that far below ground level, I am worried about it getting
cut or nicked in the future from yard work, etc.

My plan is to use 1" sched 40 PVC conduit - the gray stuff - for protection.
(I will not be adding additional coax, wires, etc., ever, so this should be
big enough.)  

My Concern:  the conduit will obviously become full of water - will freeze
cycles and the expansion of ice inside the conduit compress and therefore
damage the  Bury-Flex in any way?
