Subject: Electrical Conduits
The engineered plans do not call for above or below ground placement of electrical conduit. The contractor has the
option to decide as long as they follow all applicable codes. All above ground wiring to be in EMT conduits, but
underground wiring can be in PVC except where it is required by code, see below.
On page E-4 a reference to section 514 (motor fuel dispensing facilities) underground wiring below is the code from
NEC-2011:
514.8 Underground Wiring. Underground wiring shall be
installed in threaded rigid metal conduit or threaded steel intermediate
metal conduit. Any portion of electrical wiring that
is below the surface of a Class I, Division 1, or a Class I,
Division 2, location [as classified in Table 514.3(B)(1) and
Table 514.3(B)(2)] shall be sealed within 3.05 in (10 ft) of the
point of emergence above grade. Except for listed explosion proof
reducers at the conduit seal, there shall be no union,
coupling, box, or fitting between the conduit seal and the point
of emergence above grade. Refer to Table 300.5.
If I can be any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
