service riser "AWESOME"

[acrwc10]

I saw this yesturday, what do you think. Please add any and all code sections that you think apply

Code sections don't apply to surreal art.

I have heard, "looks like Jenga" and "looks like something the Cat in the Hat would do."

Should be good for another 60 or 70 years.

Depending on the angle of the offsets, they may have broke the 360 degree rule, That and I dont think
any of it would be wrench tight since the threads would have never worked out that way.

Very Nice that they took the time to screw a 2" hub to the top of the panel instead of just settling for a
locknut and a bushing.

It's the LITTLE things that set this job apart.

Can you imagine that configuration having to carry a fault current

You may be right.

Can you cite the NEC section requiring that to be 'wrench tight'.

That is in fact 'awesome'.

 

[petersonra]

A little unusual but might not be a violation of anything in the code.

You may be right.

I was responding more towards the "What do you think" on that one.

 

[barclayd]

It looks like each end of the offset is about 30 degrees. Total would be 300 degrees.
We're good.

That's about what I came up with also.....

I bet getting the wire though it was fun too......

No wonder I couldn't find a 2" offset nipple at the big box store.

 

[Ponchik]

I believe the couplings and the hub is listed for rigid conduit. Now, is the offset considered rigid, I don't know.

They needed the extra length.

No, it's an offset hub.
