Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 155A ampacity direct burial, 115A in-duct for secondary feeder runs
  • ✓ Pre-cut 80-foot length for panel-to-meter or subpanel feeds
  • ✓ 2-2-2-4 quadruplex: three 2 AWG conductors plus a 4 AWG neutral
  • ✓ Aluminum at 367 lbs/1000ft, lighter and cheaper to pull than copper URD

Cons

  • ✗ Aluminum ends need anti-oxidant paste and AL-rated lugs
  • ✗ 0.973-inch OD demands wide-radius bends and larger conduit
  • ✗ Fixed 80-foot cut offers no trim flexibility for shorter runs
  • ✗ 2 AWG aluminum carries less than same-gauge copper, so size accordingly
