Elbows

Yes. Is there another part to this question? they aren't really hard to install, but do take some practice and some special tools. You will need a BG crimper, and an insulation stripper and semi con scorer. Don't underestimate the difficulty of stripping CN cable (if that is what will be used) without the proper tools.

Yes guess maybe I should've expanded my questions and asked about how difficult the install is and also whats the purpose of them? Why not use prefab elbow ?

The purpose is to allow insulated dead front connections to equipment, most commonly
transformers. They also provide the needed electrical stress relief at the termination of the conductor insulation. I'm not sure what you mean by "prefab elbow"

Anyone can install these if you have the tools and watch that video I linked to. The hardest part is removing the semicon, but with the correct scoring tool and a piece to practice on it's not bad.
