My Mom said it looks very nice, in fact she hung that picture on her refrigerator.........

Well, that explains a lot.

what is the bending radius of 500? Can you stab through the back of a 4" deep box?

Its the same 6"?6"?36" wireway as you have seen me post before. Same application, 4" entries and four 500's.

I could swear I've seen that building before. Is it anywhere near where the Royal Caribbian Cruise ships dock?

North of the Port in Oakland Park.

PVC mast is a no-no here. I think it should be a no-no everywhere.
In the Texas heat that thing will come down

314.28(A)(2)exception, allows the installation of the 500s in a 6 inch deep enclosure.



The original riser is in violation of 230.24(A) Above Roofs. - the first paragraph.

Here the conduit would have to be rigid or IMC and the meter would have to have test-bypass blocks installed since it's a commercial install.

WOW, no kidding! Since it is rated for 75?C (167?F), it must really get hot in Texas to melt PVC.

On the other hand, if the service drop is supported on something other than the service mast, why not permit PVC to be used? The NEC doesn't prohibit its use, why should the local city or town?

I did think that was odd, never used a 3? 400A base that didn't have a bypass. I'll check into that.

I made that mistake once, it can be expensive.:smile: Luckly it got caught before it cost to much.

My acrobat reader is giving my heck right now, but it appears your right, looking at FPL specs. Let me shut down and reboot to post that spec and the riser specs.

Everything's bigger in Texas, even the tall tales.

If you divided Alaska into two states, Texas would be the 3rd largest state. How's that for big?

This is correct, I owe you one John.

Can I cut and paste from a PDF???

POCO will be tapping up the new service to the existing drop.

Then can you turn your weatherhead 180 degrees to make for shorter, more direct drip loops?

As long as it is not locked, you can use the select tool. Even if locked, there are other ways to skin that cat.

add: you may have to use the snapshot tool if is not embedded text.

No problem, glad I could help. :smile:

I'm with mivey, sometimes you can and sometimes you can't cut and paste from a PDF.

It can get 130 deg or so up against a wall or on a roof. Ok, it may not come down, but it will sag and warp in a couple of years.
Have you ever run exposed PVC horizontally along a wall? Even if you strapped every 5' it will look like a velvet rope at a theater.

Maybe you should use schedule 80 PVC that is rated for 90?C (194?F) and use expansion fittings?

 

[chris kennedy]

Is this a setup?

No way is this for real.

Well, it is for real. It was inspected today and released for a Thursday POCO connection. Light the fuse.

And if you thought it looked bad in the first pics, check the added strap. FWIW, the business owner is very happy. He doesn't care what it looks like, just wants juice.
