I plan to install a whole house generator. The ATS will be mounted next to the existing outside meter with a new conduit between the meter socket and ATS. To connect the ATS load to the old main panel I want to use the existing nipple between the meter socket and the main panel just inside the garage (through the exterior wall). My question is, is it acceptable to run back through the meter socket to get back to that nipple going to the main (now sub panel) panel. I am hoping to avoid a new complete run of conduit to the old main panel because it is in a finished wall in the garage, and I would really have to make a mess of the interior wall around the panel.
