I would like some suggestions please on the best fittings to use in order to make this run and pull as easy as possible. The scenario is as follows :
From an existing 18" X 18" junction/splice box , I need to transition over 3 feet and 90 up about 30" into the bottom of a 225 Amp Service Panel(Nema 3R) of which will have feed through lugs. Back out the bottom, 90 straight back to another 90 and run the distance of about 48 feet horizontally along the edge of a concrete slab(8" thick) 90 back up again for an 8 foot vertical , 90 yet again to another horizontal run of about 18 feet, down 90 about 2 feet and yes transition yet again to another horizontal run in air (supported with either 6" x 6" treated posts or galvanized pipe secured at the base onto a concrete pad with cradle supports beneath the conduit) for a 12 foot span through the building wall into an existing 200 Amp subpanel. The area where the conduit will be in the air between buildings is not accessible by equipment so there is no worry as to the height, just stability of the supports.
The wiring will be 4 -#300 Aluminum conductors pulled through 3 inch diameter schedule 80 PVC . The area will be wet at least 95% of the time and I was intending to use type "XXHW" for the moisture resistance characteristics due to condensation buildup within the conduit. It will be susceptible to both cold and hot water overspray conditions on a regular basis.
Any and all advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciated due to the fact that I need to turn in an estimate for materials by this weeks ending .
Thanking you all in advance ,
Carl
