- uf ? 1/2 pvc conduit
why would you want to go to that trouble? UF stands for underground feeder...it doesn't need conduit.
Is it safe? That depends on your total installation...there are lots and lots of rules regarding how deep (UF), how it enters through wood framing members, box connection.
Most cities require a permit to do this electrical work...it's the cheapest insurance you can buy...because the inspector will check the work to ensure it is done safely and to code.
