I used 8" schedule 40 PVC pipe for my conduit. I've got two 1-1/2 inch insulated copper pipes plus PVC electrical conduit in it. It's got two 90 deg els in the run. I solved the problem of getting around the el by cutting the 8" PVC on my table saw in two. Like a clam shell. I glued half to the straight sections, pushed my pipe through and finished the copper el soldering with the top half of the clam shell off. When done I use RTV silicone to glue the top half on and to make up for the material removed by the saw kerf. Worked well.

Cool idea Yanche. It may come to that but I'm hopng to keep it one piece and have absolute water tightness. I checked today, no one has 6" flex unless I order a 250 foot roll. 6" shed 20 was only $14 a 10' length. It'll work! I'm going to have my four pex pipes, a 12/2 wire and I think I'll throw in a 6 ga wire to run my welder. Anything else I should add to the group?

Hi Freddy
How deep will the pipe be in the ground?
In Jackman at red buck cabins they get frost 12 feet deep.

Noooooo, even a few hundred miles north of Quebec frost only goes down 8 feet. Whoever told you they have 12 feet of frost in Maine was pulling your moose. Frost normally goes down four feet here. Northern Maine I don't believe would ever go over 6'. Maybe under a plowed driveway a bit deeper. Yikes! My pipes are going under my driveway!

I've planned the ditch to be 5 feet deep, top of pipe 4 1/2'. Two foot wide blue styofoam 2 or 3 inches above the pipe and I will not have an issue. I'll make it so if the garage moves a bit it won't bother the pipes. Thanks for the reminder though, 2 or 3 feet wouln't be enough.

I ran a length of coaxal so I can use direct tv in the garage and a cat 5 cable for internet as well as cat 3 for phone for my small office I have out there along with a 12-3 with ground wire for a 3 way switch.

Hello,

Just a though, but we have a metal shop here in RI that has offered to make me a second ash pan for only $35.00. I just need to give them the dimensions, or bring the ash pan down and they will replicate it.

Maybe you all have a local company that may do the same?
