bauenmk2020Hello,
I have installed several Kabuflex 50mm (2 inch) conduits around the house with underground cables inside. Whenever the direction changes, I raised the conduits above ground again, so there are always 2 to 3 conduits sticking out of the ground at certain points. I plan to connect/joint them soon. I was thinking of using unobtrusive stone or wood covers with an access hatch so that they can be reached at any time. I would prefer not to seal the connectors and bury them underground. However, I can imagine that there might be regulations or standards that could restrict this.
For now, I can still access everything, dig if necessary, etc. The actual connection to a sub-distribution box will eventually be done by the electrician, but the sub-distribution box is not installed yet. Therefore, I want to prepare everything in advance but also in a way that the electrician can still check the individual wires if needed.
Some of the cables are 5x2.5mm² (5x0.0039 inch²), which are somewhat rigid. So I would need something larger for this. Does anyone have experience with this or any ideas?

Okay, thanks for the information. I have now ordered a PVC inspection chamber with a cover. I will install this in a planted bed, and later it should be possible to clamp the pipes and pour in the grout or casting material there.
