I'll have 1 1/4" pvc stubbed up above the ground about 2-3' away from the equipment it will serve. The ko for the electrical entry is around 12" above grade. Customer doesn't want the 4' high (W/pull box) 4x4 post stand I made so I was thinking of either A) using a female adapter on the stub (Which I would make the same height as the equipment's ko) and screw on a 90, pull the wires through then glue the assembly down onto the stub or B) below grade transition from the pvc to liquid tight via straight connector and just come throught the ground's surface with the LT and into the equipment. Which would you prefer or is there another way of doing this you'd prefer? Thanks!

where are you going to hang the disconnect at? or is there need for one?

the LB sounds like the solution, put it vertical, and then it's easier to get
the wire in..... if i needed a disconnect, i'd use a T, and then put the
disconnect above the T, with a large enough t so i could get up to the
disconnect, and back down to get to the equipment. hang the disconnect
on some strut, and the stub and T are somewhat protected.
