Why would you want to use 2" for a 100 amp service?

Because its a mast service, and most POCO's require a minimum 2" rigid conduit. :smile:

Only if you're using the conduit to support the service drop (triplex). If you're using an eyebolt attached to the house, then you can use EMT, PVC or anything else that's allowed.

480 I have noticed through my endless nights of searching for information on these forums that you are quite possibly the king of posting properly sized well diagrammed examples of exactly what things people are trying to convey in their post.

[JOHNEO99]

no no, the clamps in pdf that attach pipe to the wall not the service attatchment clamp

Holy Mother McKree!!!!.... they want the straps to go through the wall?!?!?!

Never seen anything like that! How far does the drop go....2 miles?

My guess is if the local POCO requires them, the local supply houses will stock them.

Interesting drawing..... what happens when the house has a 3' soffit? And you don't need flashing?

Ya they are sticklers...drop aint very far,like 50'

The boot for the roof provides flashing.

Did you see the 2x4's between the rafters?

It makes for a pain in the arse if not new construction.

It would not be a mast then would it?

The service-drop procedure published by Exeloncop references no authority, codes, or standards. The PDF illustration on pp. 22/23 #6 should not be mandatory unless your approved plans, or AHJ requires it.

We are required to follow the following:

LG&E Handbook (http://www.eon-us.com/rsc/lge/electric_handbook.pdf)

Look at pages 89 & 90. Look at the notes on page 90. #1 in particular.

Why use a 2" to 1-1/4" reducer?? Why not just use a 2" hub on the meter socket?

[480sparky]

No. It would simply be a raceway for the service conductors. But I've seen plenty of OH services with a POA that is not the pipe, and 2" or 2½" rigid was used anyway. Seems a waste of $ then.

[electricguy]

would it be a thru bolt stack clamp
there is one on page 41 of this pdf and there is ubolts for masts listed also.

What he said. :)

Our POCO will ONLY attach to the mast here. There was a mad time in the late 80's when PVC (!) was allowed (and yes, they attached to it) for resi.

I used 2" rigid when I did my service upgrade back then and the POCO crew asked me why I didn't use PVC.

I think that has changed since.... wonder how many "saggin services" it took before they woke up?

Good question, I don't know but you can bet I'll ask.

P.S. Maybe the meter base for smaller Services won't accept the 2" hub. I am just throwing this out, I still don't know.

Even a 100a socket will accept a 2½" hub......
