What do you guys do to connect an Eaton Ultra, or something similar, in a panel that has a lot of conduits coming into the bottom of it already? Particularly the all in ones where you can't use the left side of the panel? We've failed inspections for gluing carflex into female adapters (I know it's not rated by Carlon), for using rigid couplings in the plastic nipple of the surge protector, and for the lock ring on the surge interfering with the operation of the panel. Sometimes the panel is too tight in or around the space it's mounted to effectively get them installed. I know if you extend the leads on a surge it kills it's effectiveness pretty quickly too so I'm trying to avoid that. Ideally I would have a 1/2 female adapter with a flexible weather rated conduit 8-12 inches long ending in a 1/2 male connector. Do any of you extremely resourceful humans have any advice for me?
