Hello everyone, I was busy working at the plant today, thinking everything was ok, even though it was raining heavily. I walked by the office trailer, where a new service panel had been installed, with feeder exiting the top, through the ceiling space, then out to a panel. I installed this, and was told to use a compression fitting threaded into a hub, as this was company policy. kThe conduit is 2 inch emt. Just on a hunch, I opened the panel, and sure enough, water was entering through the fittings. Same with the Main. I siliconed around all threads, which has slowed down, if not stopped the flow. Definitely not a good situation. I told the plant manager about this, and that when I can, I will reroute the feeder under the building, and use a sealing KO on both the main, and the panel. The voltage is 120/240, but this situation still worries me. Has anyone had a similar situation, and what was the long term outcome. It will be raining for at least another week, so I might just start the work on monday, and hope for the best. Thanks
