    PVC conduit at ground level external

    Quick one. Is there anything in the regs that state safe zones for external placement of pvc conduit ? I've looked and can't see anything specific. Reason I ask is the installation I'm doing is needing me to run conduit at one brick above damp course.

    Are unnecessarily installed conduit seals required to be poured by code?

    In the oil and gas industry (working around hazardous areas), I commonly see conduit seals in places that they should not have been installed, but not being able to wait for the conduit to be re-done due to project startups, the seals are left as they were installed. Oftentimes, these do not get...

    Running Network cable next to power cable?

    So the electrician made a hole in the outside wall to run the cable for the floodlights and in the same hole he threaded through the CAT 6 cable (shielded outdoor cable) for the POE camera. Is this safe as I always thought you do not run network cable in the same conduit as electrical cables?
