My ideas are as follows. Enter a vertical section of wireway and place a tee fitting at the bottom. Any way you want to turn it is fine. You could save 1 elbow by turning it so that 1 set of conductors will pass straight through to 1 of the panels.

The other set would go out of the tee and into a short section of wireway. You could either use a wireway elbow or a conduit elbow to come down into the other panel (Take your choice).

Totally compliant, isn't it?

... Guys,guys,guys... I remedied my own problem today whilst talking to my inspector..

... It's really quite simple,and I was probably over-thinking it as usual..
I just run my 3" pipe underground and up to the meter pan,then once there,come off the load side of the meter with parallel lugs with my 1/0 wires thru (2)-2" LBs,and one each into my (2)-150 amp main breaker panels below in the basement..VOILA!! the trick she is done...and it'll pass cuz the AHJ said I could do it that way...No trough,no bugging. Thanx for all your help tho',..you guys are terrific [Linked Image] [Linked Image]

Sorry, I didn't realize that I wasn't a qualified hack.
I don't go to the place that the "hackusations" were made. I heard the story last night.
I thought maybe I was a hack on my own lack of merit. [Linked Image]

Scott I will welcome you to the hack club if you want.

Personally I think it is good company.

Roger, Ryan, CTwireman, myself and now you.

None of us know or care at all about the NEC or the trade in general. [Linked Image]

Thanks a million, Bob!!

I always knew that the general lack of compassion for fellow electricians, disdain of the NEC, and dislike of the electrical trade would pay off.

I'm among friends!! [Linked Image] I'm a HACK!!

For the first HACK CLUB meeting, we are going to learn the proper techniques for sharpening our axes and chainsaws. It's been said that some members are not sharpening properly, and thus are not hacking up to their full potential.

Also, we will learn how to better mix the 50-50 oil and gasoline for optimum chainsaw efficiency. If it's cold, we will be burning our copies of the NEC and EC&M magazine in the woodstove.

-Peter, another proud Hack

That expansion fitting for frost heave is a good job. Did you forget the fitting for the smaller PVC, or was that there already?
