So I've got 2" conduit from house to garage. Need a 3/4" CSST line in it.
The conduit is all the grey PVC...so it's got nice sweeping bends. Unfortunately though, it has 5 of them. The total run is 50 feet (actually a little less).
My dumb ass back filled before pulling. Actually, this was done because of the weather...it started pouring, and I expected my trench to collapse.
I thought it would pull easy...no such luck.
Bout to just run it on the surface then throw dirt on top of it.
So, any suggestions? I'm gonna go pick up a tub of lube tomorrow...and some better pull rope. If that doesn't work, I'm on to surface burying for the winter.
And before you ask, yes, running CSST in conduit underground is perfectly acceptable via code as long as it's appropriately bonded.
