Conduit For Underground Low Voltage Wire


When I run wire for my low voltage lights I also need to run some 4 conductor 22ga wire for my outdoor security sensors. The wire is not direct burial so will require conduit. Is there a conduit that comes in a roll that can be used for this? I know I can use PVC but I don't want all the connections. I have a few runs over 60 feet and would like a continuous conduit run.

Thanks

Rob

How about a coil of irrigation tubing from the local big box. I still ike the pvc beacuse it wil not crush or kink easily. So what about a few joints, if you buy the pipe from a plumbing supply instead of big box you can get 20' lengths with factory bells on one end. A couple swabs of glue and you are done.
