Gentlemen,


It's hard to believe that a screw connection can be approved for burial. Even 
if it is allowed, and why wouldn't it, I still would (very strongly)  prefer to 
be able to inspect them now-and-then.


It's not, in general.. compression screw terminals need to be either above grade or in an inspection well, like your PVC pipes. or the sprinkler valve boxes mentioned in another post.


I used short pieces of 4" schedule 40 PVC pipes around my ground connections. Lowes 
has (I am sure) caps that fit over the 4" pipes so grass and other stuff can cover 
them. I also like to be able to run the lawn mower over it without problems.
