I would run it north, east then south with out using a 90, except...

    bringing drop up to code

    In my town an I came across that... yes you would have to bring it up to code. New mast and meter can. Got to have a inspection before I would hook that back up. Duncan lineman Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
