Ive got over 300' of it buried about 4" below the sod, never a problem
in 4yrs so far. Of course rocks or gravel aren't present either. From 50
degrees below in the winter to the 90's in the summer, never a problem,
tough stuff. Even have about 60' of it running thru a pond that freezes
completely in the winter.

Why not skip the pipe (protection from shovels aside) and simply bury
the Bury Flex.? Same trench less work and flooding issues.
I know all the reasons for the PVC but Simple works too.

Larry,
If you rig the tubing so it can "breathe" from BOTH ends, the
water (from ordinary condensate) won't accumulate. Obviously,
you'll want to keep out direct rain water.
Don't bring one end into the shack or other enclosure
because you'll get a mold smell from the pipe. The pipe
MUST have good air circulation end-to-end. It must have insect proof
and WX proof end terminations....Easy to do with the right
hardware.
All that from my experience here in NW Missouri.

Hi all,
I am running Davis Bury-Flex out to a new 40M vertical in my back
yard. (Maine coast.) As it is going across gravel walkways and
near garden beds, and will not be that far below ground level, I am
worried about it getting cut or nicked in the future from yard work,
etc.
My plan is to use 1? sched 40 PVC conduit ? the gray stuff ?
for protection. (I will not be adding additional coax, wires, etc.,
ever, so this should be big enough.)
My Concern: the conduit will obviously become full of water ?
will freeze cycles and the expansion of ice inside the conduit
compress and therefore damage the Bury-Flex in any way?
