Installing lights and receptacles off a sub panel in the back yard. Going to use schedule 40 underground with THHN 8 GA. Along the 100 ft run there are 6 lights and 3 receptacles i want to hook up to separate breakers in the sub panel. My question is if i run 1 1/4 inch schedule 40 along that 100ft run with separate wiring for the receptacles and the lights, how to do i come off that 1 1/4 inch conduit and go up to a light, then continue on, then go to a receptacle and so on.

I don't understand the fittings i would need and how to exactly run it.

Any suggestions are most welcomed.

anybody know if you can bury a "Pull Elbow"?

I'm not sure what you are calling a "Pull Elbow" but you cannot bury any connection that has a cover of any type that can be removed or is removable. Also, I'm not sure what you're talking about in your 1st post when you referred to schedule 40. Schedule 40 is a designation for pipe, not for conduit.

Your best bet for each place you want to come up to a light is put a sweep elbow (large radius) any incoming line and let it go up to the surface. Bring it into a box and then have another line also brought the bottom to continue to the rest of the lights.

Usually it's better to do a trunk line with a large conduit to an in ground junction. From that same junction, go the loads using a smaller conduit. TBH, your design seems a bit off. #8 is rarely needed for lights or receptacles in DIY. How many circuits are you planning and what is the load calc on the circuits?

If you are planning on 2 circuits, one for light as and other for receptacles, run #12 THWN in 1/2" conduit. Bring the conduit up to a box at each outlet location and go back down to go to next box. You only need 4 conductors, 2 hots a neutral and ground. Feed with a 2 pole GFCI breaker.
