What's wrong here?

All the conduit will be buried, except for the run down the wall. Most of it is 10" down, about 10' will be only 3" under. That portion is also up against the greenhouse.

I didn't really check about putting UF-B inside a conduit.

There are probably several items that don't exactly meet code. I'm pretty sure the panel location doesn't meet. The wall that it is on is only 5'-4" tall. I doubt there is enough clear space in front of it and beside it.

Keep in mind that "Code" is for fire protection and safety. The conduit should be at least 18" deep, cable is 24".

Is the UF-B difficult to pull through the conduit?

[pelligrini]

Being that I've never tried pulling cable through a conduit before I can't really say. It probably would have been easier with 2" instead of 1-1/2". The 90 degree angles weren't easy. I was using the pre-bent ones. I'm sure I would have never been able to pull it all the way through four 10' straight sections and three 90s. The straight sections were really easy. For the run from the house to the shop I basically laid the cable out straight and slid the conduit along it.

The attic was a different story. That was a real PIA. It's a fairly low pitched roof, 4:12 or 5:12. The cable also went out at the most remote corner of the house. I sure am glad it wasn't a hip roof.

that sucks I've done something like that a couple hundred times.

to answer some of the questions code does allow cable to run through conduit but you will need to derate the wire to 80%. 6 AWG wire is normally capable of carring 60 amps but since it was run through conduit i would put need to be put on a 50 amp breaker. This is for safety because the wire won't be able to dissapate heat like it normally would if it was buried directly.
