Can you bury this underground in pvc or tubing for a short distance


Hi, happy to help. No—Type NM‑B (“Romex”) is not permitted underground, even if you sleeve it in PVC or any “tubing.” The inside of underground conduit is a wet location by code, and NM‑B is only listed for normally dry locations. If we can help in any other way, please reach out to us at consumersupport@southwire.com.

No, NM-B cable is for indoor dry locations only. Outside and underground conduit locations are classed by the NEC as wet locations.
