If the drill cost is the exact same, go for it. But I doubt a driller is going to look at 2" for the same price as a 1.25". Why you're doing 48 ribbon is beyond me. I didn't even know they made it in that low of a count. We have 288 LT and ribbon in 1.25". I sincerely regret every bit of ribbon cable - it's a waste of money, eats a ton more labor, and provides little to no value. If you're paying an extra 50c for 2" labor and saving 37c for pipe...that's just dumb... On Fri, Sep 19, 2025 at 7:08 PM Chuck <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Never. But i have had gophers eat .75 and microduct before. Even 1.25 once. So i guess 2” would more gopher resistant.
