Ali Veeder-Root Sensor Application Guide Appendix Appendix C - Direct Burial Cable The Veeder-Root direct burial cable system provides everything needed for an alternative wiring installation method for use with our probes and sensors. Installation of buried cable should only be done in those locations where existing conduit is not available, and where local codes permit the use of buried cable instead of conduit, and epoxy splices instead of junction boxes. Before considering buried cable runs, check with the local authority having jurisdiction to be sure that direct burial practices are acceptable at your location. If you are unfamiliar with direct burial techniques, you should consider either of two Veeder-Root kits: • Direct Burial Cable Site Preparation kit (P/N 848100-500)which contains the Direct Burial Installation Manual, a splice kit installation manual and the 890-SL joint sealant instruction guide. • Direct Burial Cable Site Demonstration kit(P/N 848100-502)which contains one splice kit with installation instructions, a 890-SL joint sealant instruction guide, a 6-inch piece of 2 conductor direct burial wire. After reviewing the contents of these kits, and after verifying local code requirements, you should be much more informed as to the applicability of this wiring method for your site.
