First off: Teck is a Canadian Armoured Cable product. I don't believe it's used under the TECK name in the US.
I've spent a lovely weekend digging a 20ft trench (joy).
I'm using Teck 6/3 armoured cable to supply a 60Amp service from house to garage.
Here's my question:
Can I put this in PVC and bury it all? (I know it's not required with Teck, but is it against code?)
Guy at HD says don't put it in PVC, guy at Rona says it doesn't matter.
Also, just to be certain to, it DOES have to be protected in PVC when it
is exposed right? It's going to come up the side of the house and enter at about 36". Again, guy at HD said no, but I've read it shouldn't be exposed to sunlight.
For 30 bucks of extra PVC pipe, I'd like to have a nice sealed system, where no little critters can climb up and get in the house.
Thanks in advance!
