short 2" 90?

[Kaizen]

Running pvc conduit to the garage and up the wall using long 90 into entrance pull box. Was hoping to come out the back of that and through the wall then up into bottom of surface mounted panel. Going for a clean look. I don't see a stubby 90 that would work on my 6" ish wall. Am i supposed to use flexible water tight conduit? Or is there a better way?

I think you want an "LB " like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-LB/282559160591?hash=item41c9d6a10f:g:yYYAAOSwXY5ZXYIg

Go far enough up the wall to use an LB to turn and go straight through the back of the panel in an area that will allow it.

Why is there a pullbox? Are you changing from use to ?

If you haven't committed to wire yet, I would extend the conduit so you can LB into the back of the panel. Pull xhhw panel to panel.

No 90* will do what you want. You need to put the outside LB higher so it enters the back of the panel.

The other option is a pull box or LB below the panel. It will need to remain accessible after the wall is finished, you cannot bury it in the wall.

If you wanted a clean look and no conduit up the wall you should have thought about it a long time ago. The right way to do that is stub your pipe up though the foundation and into the wall.

Sorry wrong terminology I have an LB. I will look in the panel back for a cutout. Or am I supposed to holesaw it?

There should be knockouts in the back of the panel to accept a 2" male adapter. Don't forget to use both a locknut and insulating bushing.

Depending on your location you might want an expansion joint between the 90 and the Lb.

Yup got that as well. That was an expensive item

Can you install the pull box higher. Then use a close or chase ****** from the back of the panel directly into the back of the box?

Tell me about the insulating bushing. Is it a plastic locknut? Or a bushing like an o ring? I don’t understand its purpose. I’m using pvc so is it not needed?

Yes I’m going to go up the wall further as the box has a knock out at the bottom back so I can go from lb straight into panel. Even cleaner look inside then I was hoping for.

And when is a grounding bushing supposed to be used? Just saw it and never seen one before. Has a ground screw on it

used on metal conduit that is terminated in a KO thats not punched out to its fullest diameter,or as service entrance,or if only one end of metal is connected.ie transition to PVC.

Or some areas require in on all metal conduits.
