Trenching Installation Notes
The trench should be dug as straight, level and as rock-free as possible. Avoid tight curves. If there are rapid
grade changes, and you are installing CIC, use back-fill to support the conduit. Taking into account NEC 820
and 830 considerations, dig the trench to correct depth.
Mount the reel so that pay-off is underneath toward the direction of the pull. If using CIC, make sure the conduit
is capped.
Pull enough excess cable to permit easy installation at the attachment point and enough to reach a few feet be-
yond the pedestal. When in doubt of the exact length, always play out more than you think you will need.
