You do not want to seal off these chases from air flow as you can get
condensation build up inside the chase runs. I covered mine with screen
material to keep out the bugs and critters and used a sweep so that the
chase was not pointing up where water and snow could get in. If you
used perforated runs then water should seep out and you could seal it
with whatever. Can you put a cap over it with a slot cut out for the
cables?

Greetings to the group.
I just finished burying and pulling a lot of LMR-600-DB and where that come
to ground I pulled them through a chase to protect them from the almighty weed
whacker and such. The chase is gray PVC and I wanted to apply a bulk seal the
ends to block ingress and accumulation or rain water or smaller critters
looking to nest.
Is there a preferred or safe sealant to close these off with?
I assume some kind of caulk would work, but some are silicone based and
some of those have acids (so I'm told).
Any suggestions, guidance, or things not to do-use would be appreciated.
Thanks & 73's Mike K9MK/5
