“Generac” Cable

Sometimes you absolutely need a 90 degree connector, sometimes a straight connector won't work but a 45 degree connector will. 45 connectors don't give you as much trouble passing conductors through them as 90 connectors do.

I have seen T-stat wire used as well as individual #14 or 16 awg wire run

Can I pull a 'class-2' brown T-stat cable in the same conduit with a generator feeder?
I thought I had to do some article 725.something and reclassify as a 'class 1' and use 14-THWN or 16 - 18 TFFN to go in same conduit as power?
I have ran into this with those 0-10V dimming wires in offices.
I don't think its up to the manufacturer its more of a NEC class 1 class2 ... thing?

I don't think that is an issue. I remember at one time Generac was requiring the control circuit to be in a separate conduit. I think that idea has gone by the wayside.

Might try that on my next Kohler. Still might not fit. Boggles my mind why Kohler put the inlet covered by the lid when its open.

Feeding the wires in is a disaster as well, because you need the lid open to access the inside and closed to feed from the outside. Simultaneously

Did I mention that Kohler pisses me off?

I only hooked up one of those and it was somewhat recently, I remember having that same issue.

The start up sheet I have to sign and turn in to Kohler asks if it is separate.

The only control on the Kohler I hooked up more recently was a single pair shielded cable between transfer switch and the generator controller. There was a 15 amp 120 volt circuit run with the generator output conductors for battery charger and any other accessories that may be included with the breaker for this as a field add on feature within the transfer switch.
