Anyone know of a residential all-in-one available in a Right Hand feed? I’m striking out…

Specs:
Combo meter housing/loadcenter
Nema3 outdoor
200amp
240v
1phase
20/40 space/circuit
UNDERGROUND UTILITY FEED MUST BE ON RIGHT SIDE OF ENCLOSURE
 
If no load conductors are to go out the top - maybe you can run along side the right side and put either conduit body(ies) or aux gutter in and "top feed" it?

Otherwise never seen one that isn't bottom fed on the left side.
 
The Util Co here requires that their underground riser is uninterrupted, no condulets or other enclosures before the meter housing.

Wish one of the mfgr's would offer a special order option for right-hand utility feed :weeping:. Thanks for your input
 
Trying to help customer avoid having to rebuild a stairway that was wrongly built in front of the panel. Very limited work space, a lot of physical constraints, that's the only reason to change to an all-in-one. Thanks

I failed to mention that the handrail shown is 28" from the panel front. But that's a great idea

Is the clearance issue the only reason you are doing a service change?

If yes, I think you're good on the 28". The 30" clearance for the width doesn't have to be centered on the panel. As long as there is room to open the door 90 degs. and 30" total space in front of the panel.

I should clarify that the 28” isn’t working space width but depth (from the panel front to the inside of the handrail, which needs the required 36” of depth). The bottom stair tread (and the handrail post) overlaps the left edge of the panel by 4” (even 1” would be a violation). In other words, if it weren’t for the handrail post being within the 36” working space depth , GoldDigger’s idea (change the bottom step into a 36" wide platform) would work. I should've given you all the needed facts up front... :ashamed1:
 
Why not feed a MB service panel from the top just below and left of the Meter can. Move the phone or cable box. Use the old panel as a junction for anything in that old breaker panel.

Bada bing bada boom ... .


Done.:thumbsup:

Sweet! Why hadn’t I seen it that way?!? This is why I come here… THANKS GUYS
 
If that lateral is pvc, I would heat it up and just put an offset in it to get it over to the left enough to work with a combo unit. If the conductors are long enough to make it happen.

I thought of that as well, but conductors probably not long enough, would have to lower the whole thing to gain length - that then makes less room to make the offset.
