October 2006 Issue
OPPD-Approved Underground
Temporary Service Conduit and Cable
Effective November 20, 2006, OPPD will no longer supply Sealtight/Liquidtight assemblies for underground temporary services. This assembly includes the sealtight conduit, #8 wires and conduit fittings that run from the meter socket to OPPD's pedestal. (See detailed illustration below.)
The builder/electrician will be required to supply this assembly in good condition with no damage to the sealtight or wire insulation. If this assembly is found to be in poor condition, OPPD will turndown the request to connect the temporary service until such time that the sealtight assembly is replaced. OPPD will continue to make the connections at the power pedestal.
Where meter sockets are located over foundation over-pours or for walkout footings, the footing/foundation should have a 12-inch-wide by 24-inch-high knockout installed to reduce the turndown time and the cost of removing the footing/foundation later, which would be required by OPPD before the utility will install the service.
Please refer any questions to OPPD Consumer Sales and Service Department at 552-5830 or 552-5835.
