Direct burial installations for CANTEX Schedule 40 and schedule 80 PVC Pipe are simple, but must always be done in accordance with all national and regional guidelines.

1. A crew begins by digging a trench for the conduit.
2. Rows of pipe are placed in the trench.
3. In between each run of PVC Pipe, the belled end of the conduit gets cemented to the straight end. If the pipe has been cut, a reamer tool must be used to remove burrs or debris before cementing. Once the pipe is smooth, the correct type of CANTEX PVC Solvent Cement gets applied to the inside of the belled end and the outside of the spigot or “straight” end of the conduit with a dauber.
4. The pipe is twisted slightly to secure it. This process is repeated every 10 to 20 feet, depending upon the length of the conduit.
5. Once all the runs of conduit are in place and properly connected, the crew fills the trench with dirt.
