Are watertight hubs aka Meyers Hubs ok for use with services?

There is some question as to whether or not they require bonding bushings when used with service raceways. Also hubs are not required if the conduit entry is below the energized parts.

I thought that a Myers hub was listed for bonding.

Look here:

You're welcome. Sometimes this one seems far fetched but because of it we can use squeeze connectors out of the bottom of a meter pan with SE cable, or standard locknuts and KO's on a raceway exiting below the energized parts.
