DIRECT BURIAL
The direct burial method requires grinding a groove in the pavement surface, laying Veeder-Root supplied direct
burial cable in the bottom of the groove, and then covering the cable with a protective backer rod and sealant.
Prior to installing direct burial cable with epoxy splices, consult with the local authority having jurisdiction. Use of
direct burial cable is only allowed in locations where local codes permit the use of buried cable.
If you decide to use the direct burial method, you should order the Veeder-Root Direct Burial Cable Preparation
Kit, P/N 848100-500.
