Garden path project.
I need to get the 10m power lead from my sump pump (dirty water pump) to the outside wall socket. I've laid all my channel drainage system, sump chamber, etc. and now need to install the pump. It has a sealed integral power lead that I have to get to the other side of the path and so onto the wall socket. I haven't yet layed the path so before I put down the scalpings, sand and blocks I'd like to run a buried galvanised steel conduit below the path, then up and across the house wall to the socket. I'll cut the moulded plug off the pump power lead so as to feed the cable through the 1" conduit. Total conduit length approx 7m.
So a couple of questions:
How deep (or shallow) should the conduit be buried below the path?
Should I wrap the galvanised conduit in Denso tape below ground?
The threaded pipe joins ... what should I seal these with to weather proof them?
I've got a heavy duty pipe bender and conduit dies so the metalwork will be straightforward enough.
