Ummmm..... Are underground splices allowed unnder the NEC? If so, then they are the only splices of which I am aware that are allowed to be essentially inaccessible. And even if they are allowed, unless you're burying 300 feet of cable, then why have a splice? It seems to me the proper installation would be either an unspliced run of direct-burial cable......or a conduit system with we-rated cable.

I don't mean to sound whiny here, but I've just known a lot of electricians and electrical inspectors, and underground splices just seem way more hokey than the methods they tend to require.
