Hey guys new to the forum and main panel installation so I apologize in advance if my verbiage is way off.
House has an old 125A Zinsco panel that I'm changing out for a new 125A. The 1 1/2" conduit feeding the Zinsco panel comes right up to the center of the panel and the panel has the meter on the bottom and breakers aligned horizontally up top.
Every panel I've found has the hub entrance on the left side. Even panels with the meter on the right side still have the entrance on the left side. My problem is that if I moved the box over to connect the existing conduit that's coming from the ground to the left side of the box, then the box would wind up right into the framing of the garage door. I'd need it to slide the other way so the hub would have to connect to the right side of the box.
Is there some sort of box out there that would work for me or could I do some type of separate meter socket and attach it to a panel with no socket? I've never done anything like that so I don't want to slip up and get dinged for the installation being out of code.
Any ideas? Thanks!
