[QUOTE="Randy Gartner, post: 209283, member: 104"] I have been an electrical contractor of 30 years. I would suggest multiple runs of PVC. Anything from 2" up to 4". One reason many conduits have issues is because they don't use cleaner when installed and the joints leak or come apart. Use PVC cleaner on the outside of the pipe and inside of the joint before you glue. And don't use a multi purpose glue, use PVC glue. Glue both joints then push in, twist and hold for a few seconds. Because they are underground, they will still get moisture in from rain or condensation. You can use a wet/dry vacumn to pull as much water out as possible, but run a fish through with a rag tied to it to clean the rest out. And keep bends to a minimum,preferably one at each end. As far as access points, you can use what is called a "C" fitting in between long runs. It has a cover that is removeable. [/QUOTE]
