| Subject - Electrical line burying code | |
| awhit22 |
As I understand the residential code, a electrical line run underground needs to be burried at least 18 inches down and be run thru a conduit. Is that correct? The property I'm working with is in Maricopa County, AZ. I'm also having a hard time finding the specifc code to reference. Anyone know where to find it for AZ? Thanks, |

| blackrd | If in rigid (steel), 6". See table 330-5 for complete listings. |
| awhit22 | Perfect. Thanks for the help. |
| Ryan | You can also fun UF cable and that doesn't have to be ran in conduit or URD aluminum cable which also doesn't have to be in conduit as for the bepth I always run them atleast 2 ft. below grade. |
