Re: PVC UNDERGROUND..SLEEVE
I agree 100% what Rick says below. Unless the initial install of
wires/cables lay
perfectly flat any new cabling is going to get tangled up in there and
you'll have a

Re: PVC UNDERGROUND..SLEEVE
With hardline it is better to use conduit since the bends are "sweeps" rather than "elbows". I use the max radius sweeps for my big tower three 3" conduits, minimum 24" for 2", 36" for 3". Another

With those runs of hardline, I would run 6” and be sure to run a messenger rope in the pipe to pull other cables through should you need to. My two cents… - M

If you can, run a 4” for RF cable and a 2” for control. That way you have ample room for future cables. Electrical PVC conduit is best but most expensive. We use long radius bends. It makes
