My neighbor is a guy that would be sure he meets applicable codes. The
Fridley electrical inspector is a good guy, very willing to answer

The three-elbows problem was mostly an interesting puzzle for me. If

IIRC, you are allowed 270 degrees of bend between pull boxes. I'm going from memory so I

EMT, IMC or GRC

NEC 346-11
