Looks good to me except for maybe the distance from the window to the P.O.A.
But, if the poco didn't have a problem with it who am I to complain. Just hope the future tennants don't use the tri-plex as a clothes line .

If it were me, I would have tried to get above the windows but I don't know the particulars of the job.

And I thought that I was the only one that used plastic bushings on PVC... did it for years.

Looks good!

Grounding Electrode Conductor

The definition for “Grounding Electrode Conductors” was revised to read:
Grounding Electrode Conductor. The conductor that connects the grounding electrode to the grounded (neutral) conductor at service equipment [250.24(A)], source of a separately derived system [250.30(A)(2)], or to the equipment grounding conductor at each building or structure disconnect that is supplied by a feeder [250.32(E)].

Would not the Service Disconnect be considered part of the Service Equipment?

But I like the way you think, Sean!

as well as the meter

Hmmmm... I might just have to let Tom or Master66 he'p me out on this one!

You're gonna fit in well here, Sean!

well i've been busted on it before.... the rationale being mini-Es are not listed for pvc, and do not allow for the pvc to expand/contract. Bonding would follow the definition of 'fitting' vs. 'fastener'......
(please don't go there, or we'll be bonding #100 staples too...)

in my case i had 4-500kcmil's in 4" sch 80, and used beeline hangers every 30" , the AHJ let it go.....after i bemoaned the wieght of the riser vs. cheesy 4" two hole straps or quickclips.....

(methinks a similar thread ran a yr or so ago on this?)

as to the definitional application of 'pipe hanger' , i have no white book reference
(or can't find one) ..... my god, we're the nitpickyest trade!

anyhow,
your truely the Tom Cruise of the industry, carry on!
( you DID wear all black & a ski mask doing this right?)

In response to a few posts here, the way i am reading the NEC the gec must be connected to the service at the service disconnecting means which would not be the meter. 250.24 a 1. I also do not believe the meter is part of the "service equipment" as defined by the NEC.

Scott,
Some argue that the meter is not accessible, but I think that it is, its just not readily accessible.
Don

I stand corrected. 230.66 clears that up

carry on........ LOL
