Have an issue with the conduit in my garage foundation that runs to my breaker box.
The conduit run was existing and we placed it a little too far towards the inside of the garage. The conduit will be outside the sheet rock just slightly. The wire is THHN/THWN.
I know everyone on here usually has some great ideas and are more experienced at this than I am so Im looking for ideas that are to code to get the conduit behind the sheet rock for the vertical run..
see attached pictures. any help or ideas are appreciated.

Why did you run the cable already?

Shouldve ran it once the conduit was finished. this is required by code.

What gauge wire did you run and what is the breaker size.

The conduit that emerges from the concrete is there to stay. I see two options:

1) offset the conduit into the wall with heated offsets. (Pre-bents even cut down will be too much offset). You will still see the lower portion.
2) Frame out that bay of studs - floor to ceiling. Move the panel forward.

A pair of factory 30 degree bends to make an offset. It will be too big to go straight back but you should be able to roll the offset into the corner. And they shouldn't be too difficult to slide over the cables.

Best option is heating up the PVC and bending it to fit inside the wall, as others have said. You'll need an offset to get it lined up with the fitting in the panel anyway, this will get it lined up in both directions, front to back (in the wall) and side to side (lined up with the panel) with one rolled offset. It will still stick out of the wall at the bottom, no way to fix that now.

Heating the PVC is the perfect idea.. i tried it, was surprised how easily it heats up and can be reshaped.
Thanks for the ideas!
