Southwire 125-ft 6 / 2 / Romex SIMpull Stranded Indoor CU NM-B W/G Individual pack ( By-the-roll )
can this cable be put in a pvc underground conduit?

Great question! No — 6/2 NM‑B (Romex SIMpull) cannot be installed in PVC underground conduit. NM‑B is not rated for wet locations, and the NEC considers all underground conduit to be a wet environment, even if it appears sealed. For underground runs, you must use UF‑B, USE‑2/URD, or Mobile Home Feeder, depending on your installation. Please let us know if you need help in any other way by contacting us at consumersupport@southwire.com.
