Chevy, unless there is some reason we must use these city hubs such as job specifications, we use a connector and a ground bushing.
Although I think they make a better looking project and we do use them quite a bit, city hubs are 10 times the cost of a connector and ground bushing.

10 times really? Wow, I'll stick to a connector and grounding bushing.roger said:

That's fine until you have a 2" with a 500 Kcmil conductor. In that situation you choices are limited.

We don't even consider wire benders on a job until 750 comes into play.

Using the photo in your link as a reference, trying to bend a 500 Kcmil around to hit the bonding bushing would look rather heinous. The straight-in method in the photo IMO is a much better installation. Even if it's only an aesthetic improvement over the 500 around the bonding bushing.
