I have a predicament. I have a meterpack on order to replace an old FPE meterpack that has bitten the dust. I went to the supply house to look at the catalog myself, to get an idea of what I was going to be installing, and saw an issue.
The existing service is laid out as follows:
View attachment 3115
There is a window to the left, and there is a wall jutting out to the right. I've drawn it essentially as I remember it.
The red and blue things going into the bottom of the service are the service lateral (in red) and the feeders to the units (in blue).
The new service is going to receive the utility on the left, and the feeders are going to leave on the right. So, I'll need a gutter to splice the feeder conductors in, which I figure will take up the entire bottom of the new can.
Would you route the service conductors into another gutter on the right of the new can, and then pipe around the top of the service to enter the right with an LB? I think this would look pretty trashy, but I'm not seeing a second option. Thoughts?
