RobC Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 For some reason, that just didn't look right to me. Download Attachment: LB_Buried_M.jpg 66.6 KB New house, service entrance conductors in one and cable in the other. I'll call the Safety Codes Officer (SCO) tomorrrow for a clarification. I'm hoping he talks about possible moisture entry and inapproriate direct burial fittings etc. Otherwise, I'm having crow for supper....again.

RobC Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Douglas, Are we saying the L.B's are listed for direct burial in gravel? I know they are gasketed and in theory should be weathertight but in this location wouldn't they be susceptible to leakage? I'm thinking of snow accumulation remaining on and around them for an extended period of time. I'm not sure and will ask about distances above grade requirements. Should be interesting. Wasn't thinking about access, good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 SCO comment 1. They require accessibility (as Douglas mentioned). Got to remember that word. 2. They are not approved for damp location and underground is considered damp. Does that sum it up or is there another issue? Makes you wonder how it got passed.

RobC Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Sorry Douglas, You'll have to type a little slower cause if there ever was a weak link in my training, electricity is it. When you say LISTED do you mean the L.B. is a fitting approved for damp locations? And if it is approved then the only concern is the accessability isssue, right? So, the discussion would be around the definition of 'accessability'. Anyway, without beating the code issue to death, how would you write this up in a report to reflect the existing condition. Mike, I'm aware of the ban but thought making a reference in type was allowed, unless I've missed something previouly discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Oh, okay Rob. I see. My mistake. I thought you'd simply typed it wrong. I suppose Douglas won't go ballistic over the code as long as it's not jumping around the screen on him. (Will you Douglas?) OT - OF!!! M.

RobC Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Agreed, Generally speaking LB's are installed high enough, in the rim joist generally, that they are both accessible and above snow level. If they were below ground in the winter and surrounded with ice, would they be considered accessible? (Big Smile) Or for that matter does accessible mean visible under all weather conditions? I share the same concern about penetrating a foundation under grade. Overall a poor installation and I've written it up as Further Evaluate.
