"3 nipples and a trough."

Wouldn't you have to get some pretty expensive hubs for the top of the wireway?

Next time, cut your costs and use the back to back for the one on the right. The short nipple for the left side disco is cool. Cut your costs. Unless you are going to be paid extra to stick in a gutter. Then go get a stainless steel one and some of the best myers hubs from Appleton. I can build some really fancy stuff if the customer opens his wallet far enough, but I will also NEVER overbuild just to impress unless paid for it.

Scott, I'd think you'd spend some much time trying to outfit hubs on a gutter, it wouldn't be worth it. And could you?

Looks fine the way it is.....

Good job IKAYLA. [Linked Image]

What's the black pipe with the 12-2 between panels?

Is there a strap on the riser of the service?

I usually install the wire for the ground rod into the house, run down as far as I can go, and exit the house directly behind the riser. It makes for a slightly cleaner appearance, and keeps the #6 protected from damage.

It appears as though some of the romex runs aren't secured within 12" of the panels, but it's hard to tell.

After all that - nice work! [Linked Image]

Hi Jermaine. Did you do the communication/data installations as well?

thanks to you all for the replies
1:the meter base was located about60' from the panels (renovation,service was on the side of slab so to get to the basement had to run feeders through the 1st floor playroom used 4/0 ser)

2:the 2" pvc @ bottom of panel was feeding a 50A/120-240V sub-panel for the barn only had 4 #8 THHW-2

3: yes i did all SMC (structured media wireing)very tough job.

thanks again for all the replies jermaine

Here's another service:

Here is a pic of an install where the feeders to the subpanels pass through other panels.
The feed comes in the top of the left-most panel (the one with the meter). The bottom section of that panel has breakers for each sub-panel; the feeders then pass right through other panels on their way to their respective panels.
Since everything is off the same meter, I don't see a problem with this arrangement.
