Subject: RE: pulling elect. wire through conduit


Here is MY concern,,,didnt see anyone mention it so I will.

Maybe this is a here thing,,,but gophers and those pesky striped ground squirrels are attracted to underground electrical wires. HERE you need 2" minimum conduit to be BIG enough they cant get their mouths around and bite THRU!!

So you CAN reuse that 1" if you wish,,,but IF you have same probs there,,,burying the 2" NOW gives you the security of NOT having a failure at the worst possible time!!

Plus it MAY give you added capacity for future expansion!! I am far from an expert but HAVE had those varmits chew thru wires and small conduit before!!
