Good start, but off a bit.
Your Code reference is 314,28
For angle pulls your basic rule is 6 X the conduit diameter, so we start with 6 x 4 = 24
To that you add the sum of the diameters of conduits in the same row...if your other 2 conduits are in the same row thats an adder of 8" for a total of 32".
This would be true for the two sides opposing the entries,
In this case, since you have nothing coming in the back, the depth would be what is needed for your conduits.
My guess would be a 32 x 32 x 6 or 8
There are a couple of other important conduit location measurements so please review 314.28

If it's an angle pull how do you have conduits on "each side" of the box?
You should have either: side to bottom, or side to top, not each side.
What did I miss between post #1 and #4? Seems there was some other posts from OP that aren't shown according to some of the questions asked back to him.
Maybe I'm blind or just slow, but something is confusing about this to me!:?

I was wondering about that too. At first I thought of PM, but that did not make sense to reply to publicly without quoting, Then I though that perhaps the OP started the thread as a Moderated Member, and the Moderators could see posts that we did not see yet?

I think Jumper accidentally deleted 2 posts instead of one. I undeleted one.
