I’m just about ready to trench several hundred feet for water, electrical and communication lines at my new place. I’ve always used gray electrical PVC for my electrical/communication runs and the regular PVC for water.
I know the gray electrical PVC is UV resistant for exposed applications, but can you use regular schedule 40 PVC in the trench for electrical runs? The only reason I would consider it is that I can buy it in 20’ sticks and it’s cheaper at the plumbing wholesale place.
Would this be a no-no?
