Greetings all I am assuming a wireway automatically is a "pull box" for any conductor enters and exits without a splice, do you all concur?

376.23(B) States
(B)Metal Wireways Used as Pull Boxes. Where insulated
conductors 4 AWG or larger are pulled through a wireway,
the distance between raceway and cable entries enclosing the same conductor
shall not be less than that required by 314.28(A)(1) for
straight pulls and 314.28(A)(2) for angle pulls.

If I have a wireway that is serving as a "pullbox" for some service conductors I don't need to apply
314.28 to the distance to the opposite wall of the wireway (the top in my case), I just use those distances in (A)(1) and (A)(2) for the minimum distance between conduit entry's correct?
The conduits would all be in the bottom of the wireway.
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure I follow. 314.28 includes A(1) and A(2) so what are you trying to say

Sorry that was not clear perhaps I am overthinking this
Assuming a 72" long standard horizontally installed 8X8 wireway two 3" and four 2" conduits are punched into the bottom.
376.23(B) uses 314.28 A(1) and A(2) for determining the distance between raceways with the same conductor pulled between them, not the "height" of the wireway.
Correct?
