Badgerpipe can offer 12-2 or 14-2 underground wire with ground, installed inside the corrugated tile, should you wish to add it to the order. Badgerpipe can add extra footage to fill your needs. Please contact us after sale for fulfillment to add the wire.

Direct-burial underground cable is a type of electrical wiring that is specifically engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of being buried underground. To provide added protection, the cable is encased in thermoplastic, which creates a moisture-proof barrier between the wiring and the surrounding underground environment. Therefore, the wire is safe if water should happen to come in contact with the wire for any reason.

There are companies selling 5 wrap tubing that put it into a 4" tile. All of Badgerpipe's is in a 5 inch tile because there is too much insulation to fit into a 4" tile. Also, there are companies that only install the reflective barrier on one side of the insulation. And to make matters worse, they put it on the side away from the tubing which reduces the effectiveness of the reflective qualities.

Yes, we have seen others claiming there tubing tests better than Badgerpipe's. Badgerpipe would advise taking these results with a grain of salt, because we have seen inconsistencies in the claimed results.

Q: How deep should this be buried?
A: Only 18 to 24 inches is necessary unless it will be driven over. If it will be driven over it should be buried 3 or more feet or placed within a PVC tube or culvert.
Q: What is the string for?
A: The string which is included with every roll of insulated pipe can be used to pull an electrical, thermostat, tracing wire or whatever through the corrugated tile.
Q: What is the outside diameter of the tile?
A: The 4" tile has an outside diameter of 4.7" and the 5" tile has an outside diameter of 5.7"
Q: What does "Commercial Grade Corrugated Tile" mean?
A: Our corrugated tile is DOT approved for commercial applications which means that it is thicker/stronger than other tile available to the general public.
Q: How should the trench for the insulated pipe be prepared?
A: The trench should be free of any rocks or debris. If available the corrugated tile should be surrounded by sand.
Q: What is the difference between "Non Barrier" pex tubing and "Oxygen Barrier" pex tubing?
A: Non Barrier pex tubing is used for "open" systems. Systems that are non pressurized. Those being ones that water will need to be added to periodically and that also require a type of water treatment. Oxygen Barrier pex tubing has a coating applied to the exterior of the tubing to prevent oxygen from penetrating the tubing. Oxygen Barrier pex is used for "Closed" systems. Systems that are pressurized and once filled do not require additional water to be added nor do they require a water treatment product.
