Easy Wiring Under Driveway
3.4
This portion of the manual will explain how to
create an easy conduit for the wires for dual
gates.
This is what you would need to get started:
- Narrow shovel.
- ¾’ water pipe no more that 5’ in length (you
would need a total number of pipes that would
equal your driveway width plus 1’).
- ¾’ electric rigid pipe couplings (one for each
joint in the water pipe).
- 1 ¾’ “Tee”
- 1 ¾’ Plug.
- 1 ¾’ male galvanized pipe X female hose fit-
ting (usually in Brass).
- Large hammer.
All the above items could be found in a local
home supply store.
Dig a trench perpendicular to the driveway
approximately 6 to 8 inches deep and 6’ long
Hook up a typical garden hose assembled
to the first length of pipe as shown
Turn on water and push the pipe under the
driveway, matching the pitch of the driveway.
If you hit a rock use the hammer to force the
pipe past the rock.
Attach additional pieces of pipe to the initial
length by removing the tee and using the cou-
pling to add the additional length of pipe, reas-
semble the tee and repeat the above steps until
only 6 inches of pipe is sticking out from under
the driveway. On the opposite side of the drive-
way look for a wet spot or water bubbling up,
dig to find the end of the pipe.
This process is good for driveways up
to 24’ in width.
