I got the permit. I also had EWS deliver conduit, a meter panel, a main lug panel, a few 90 degree conduit pieces, brackets, lugs, and a large beautiful J-Box that the city is requiring me to put in(it wasn’t cheap).
In the end, it all came together nicely. One thing that did take a bit of practice and patience was bending the PVC pipe. I used a blow torch and kept burning and kinking my practice piece. in order for a blow torch to work, you have to be super patient and never keep the torch in one place at all…ever. To get the PVC to temperature takes about 20-30 minutes. The PVC will get super hot, recommended, thick gloves and a damp rag. Then you can bend it how you like without kinking or burning.
