So I have a 4x4x20 wireway under an electrical panel, to feed a remote location panel. The 2 conduit entry points are sized at 1-1/2" and spaced 14" apart. Art.314.28 (A)(2) is referenced from 376.23(B) for sizing.
Where splices or where angle or U pulls are made, the distance between each raceway entry inside the box or conduit body and the opposite wall of the box or conduit body shall not be less than six times the metric designator (trade size) of the largest raceway in a row.
When doing a "U pull", I interpret the "opposite wall" as the wall with the opposite exit point even if they are on the same "wall". In which case your entry exit points need to be spaced 6x trade size apart from each other.
I was recently failed by AHJ and told to install 2 back to back LB's or needing a 10x10x20 gutter. Am I interpreting this code correctly? The purpose of this requirement id for conductor and wire way sizing and minimum wire bending space. So if I have (3) #3AWG and #8AWG as the only conductors and they have "layed" in the gutter I do not see the conflict.
