Is it allowed to use compression connections for a conductor installed underground or in concrete?

Yes, conductors can be compression connected underground but under select circumstances. This process is used when direct burial conductors inadvertently get dug up by machinery You must use an approved splice kit for underground connections. These kits usually contain butt splice crimp connectors and an insulation package. The overall splice is then covered by a heat-shrink material that makes the whole splice waterproof. The electrical code does not allow butt splice connections in conduit runs. Direct burial of conductors in concrete is not allowed except for ufer grounding. No, you cannot use EMT and compression fittings, they'll corrode. You need to use electrical PVC underground and in concrete per the Code. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

You have 6 gauge underground wiring that has a rubber coating over it is this safe or should it be in side somthing else?

There are cables approved for direct burial. These will have markings on them like USE or URD. There is no way to answer your question without knowing the specific type of cable you have. If it is not approved for direct burial and you decide to put it inside an underground conduit there are still regulations that apply. Underground conduit is classified as a 'wet' location, so the wire still must have the rating for wet locations. Not all types of wire do. If you are concerned that you may not have the correct wire, have a qualified electrician look at it. Don't try to dig it up to look yourself, especially if it is live! If the wire is not approved for direct burial, it will eventually corrode and fail. Since it is underground, there is little likelyhood someone will be hurt, but you will certainly be left in the dark!
