Easy Wiring Under Driveway
This portion of the manual will explain how to create an easy conduit for the wires for dual gates .
This is what you would need to get started:
Narrow shovel.
¾’ water pipe no more that 5’ in length (you would need a total
number of pipes that would equal your driveway width plus 1’).
¾’ electric rigid pipe couplings (one for each joint in the water
pipe).
1 ¾’ “Tee”.
1 ¾’ Plug.
1 ¾’ male galvanized pipe X female hose fitting (usually in
Brass).
Large hammer.
All the above items could be found in a local home
supply store
.
Dig a trench perpendicular to the driveway approximately
6 to 8 inches deep and 6’ long.
Hook up a typical garden hose assembled to the first
length of pipe as shown.
Turn on water and push the pipe under the driveway,
matching the pitch of the driveway.
If you hit a rock use the hammer to force the pipe past the
rock.
Attach additional pieces of pipe to the initial length by
removing the tee and using the coupling to add the addi-
tional length of pipe, reassemble the tee and repeat the
above steps until only 6 inches of pipe is sticking out
from under the driveway. On the opposite side of the
driveway look for a wet spot or water bubbling up, dig to
find the end of the pipe.
