When transitioning from a horizontal run to a vertical run can you use an elbow or do you need to hit a box then go vertical?
Thanks.

I'd sure hate to install 500MCM or larger in a condulet.
If you're installing large conductors, for pulling purposes I would install the box before or after the transition point and use an elbow. And forget using a condulet. Chances are they cannot meet the 6X or 8X requirement in Article 314.
I agree, but have always wondered how they got those things listed and why they don't build them large enough to handle the max wires allowed in the conduit.
If the OP is pulling large wire in that 4", I'd sure hate to install 500MCM or larger in a condulet. It can be done, but it isn't easy.
It is not a problem with the fitting...it is a problem with the installer not reading 314.28 and understanding that the rules in this code section apply to conduit bodies used with conductors #4 and larger.I agree, but have always wondered how they got those things listed and why they don't build them large enough to handle the max wires allowed in the conduit.
Actually empty conduit for telecom

Are you for real?
It would be good to know what cables they plan on pulling: 50 CAT5's or two 250 pair cables. Small wires, LB's are OK. Big cables, use a pull box.
IMHO :grin:
