Veeder-Root Sensor Application Guide <br />Direct Burial Cable <br />The Veeder-Root direct burial cable system provides everything needed for an alternative wiring installation <br />method for use with our probes and sensors. Installation of buried cable should only be done in those locations <br />where existing conduit is not available, and where local codes permit the use of buried cable instead of conduit, <br />and epoxy splices instead of junction boxes. Before considering buried cable runs, check with the local authority <br />having jurisdiction to be sure that direct burial practices are acceptable at your location. <br />If you are unfamiliar with direct burial techniques, you should consider either of two Veeder-Root kits: <br />• Direct Burial Cable Site Preparation kit (P/N 848100-500) which contains the Direct Burial Installation Manual, <br />a splice kit installation manual and the 890 -SL joint sealant instruction guide. <br />• Direct Burial Cable Site Demonstration kit (P/N 848100-502) which contains one splice kit with installation <br />instructions, a 890 -SL joint sealant instruction guide, a 6 -inch piece of 2 conductor direct burial wire. <br />After reviewing the contents of these kits, and after verifying local code requirements, you should be much more <br />informed as to the applicability of this wiring method for your site. <br />Direct Burial Cable Specifications <br />Item <br />.• <br />Description <br />Item <br />.• , SHIELDED CABLE <br />Description <br />Primaries <br />Primaries <br />Conductor <br />#18 AWG (19/30) tinned copper <br />Conductor <br />#18 AWG (19/30) tinned copper <br />Insulation Type <br />Fluoropolymer <br />Insulation Type <br />Fluoropolymer <br />Primary O.D. <br />0.063" (1.6mm) nominal <br />Primary O.D. <br />0.063" (1.6mm) nominal <br />Drain <br />#20 AWG (7/28) tinned copper, <br />located under the tape <br />Drain <br />#20 AWG (7/28) tinned copper, <br />located under the tape <br />Jacket <br />Jacket <br />Insulation type <br />Fluoropolymer <br />Insulation type <br />Fluoropolymer <br />Final O.D. <br />0.161" (4.1 mm) <br />Final O.D. <br />0.171 "(4.34mm) <br />Color <br />Red tint <br />Color <br />blue tint <br />UL temp rating <br />257°F (125°C) <br />UL temp rating <br />392°F (200°C) <br />Direct Burial Cable Components <br />Order equal lengths of filler rod and either type cable.
