can i just use under-ground electrical wiring with out using conduit ??? plus what other requirements will be needed
For underground wiring, it is essential you use underground feeder and branch-circuit cable (UF cable). it's weatherproof and best for underground burial.The requirement for direct (underground) burial is 24 inches. You need not use a conduit if your going to use the UF cable but be sure to have it 24 inches below ground. if you want to lessen the depth of burial then consider using a conduit. Check your local electrical codes as well to be sure and ask advice from an electrician. Hope this helps
