He put in a few hand holes. There's one long straightaway where I wish
he'd added one more.
The bigger issue is that the pipe is broken or crushed somewhere.
I wish all code enforcement departments looked at things like you do.
Sometimes they care because their book tells them to care.

Why would code enforcement care what you ran a fiber cable in
underground? I can't think of any health or safety issue whatsoever.
I'd be more concerned with the pull/blow at 1600' through PE.

Subject: [AFMUG] Poly well pipe as conduit
A customer ran 1600' of polyethelyne water pipe instead of a conduit
for a fiber drop cable. He asked me before hand if it was ok, and I
said "It doesn't bother me, but check with code enforcement to make
sure it's ok." I had assumed code would tell him to get a conduit
instead of a water pipe. He says they told him it was fine.
I could direct bury the cable, so it truly doesn't matter to me what
the type of pipe/conduit is. I'm just surprised that it wouldn't be
an issue for code enforcement. My belief is that fiber optic cables
are within the scope of NEC and that NEC calls for listed conduit. Am
I mistaken?
