Anybody have an elegant solution to connecting two panels together at an inside corner. Any type of fitting like a 90 degree close nipple. I glanced through a catalog from Milbank and noticed they make product that could work. I’m primarily thinking for branch circuits and didn’t think a wireway would be ideal due to that 30 ccc rule.
 
What single product wouldn't have a conductor-quantity limit?

How many wires? What distances from the corner to panels?

What about multiple conduits with regular elbows in the corner?
 
If it exceeds 30 wires, maybe the panel arrangement should be reconsidered.

Where are that many individual wires coming from? Can they be re-routed?

Can we see the site, or a good drawing? 1743016416302.gif
 
How about a wireway elbow and a pair of wireway panel flanges? Google either an you will see exactly what I am talking about.

Sorry, I only looked at the first part of your question, but that close together, just use #10 wire, not a huge cost increase, but I would also be surprised if you got nailed for this with #12's
 
Sorry no pictures Larry. This was more of an educational exercise. I like the condulet idea. Don’t know why I couldn’t see that. No derating or mounting haha.

Yes that's the simplest solution, no derating, no mounting. With something like a 3" conduit body and you can run about 337-#12's through it.
 
I'm back to regular elbows, either EMT with connectors or rigid.

What would be cheaper or easier to push wires through?
