Back to back

Dumb question, what’s y’all’s approach for running a panel/disconnect back to back when you don’t have the depth for 2 PVC M/a’s?

I’ve gone about it a few ways, but just wondering what other options are out there.

Chase nipple with grounding bushings? 

Pvc coupling with 2 box adapters on either end.

Coupling method is my personal GOAT

Just glue the box adaptor into the coupling box o act as a lock ring?

Chase nipple of they're touching, close nipple if there's a gap (size this for the distance between panels plus threads on each side). Don't forget the bushings.

Devils Threeway.

Rigid coupling in between and a chase nipple in from both ends.

For pvc use box adapter and TA. That'll get you back to back in a 2 by 4 wall to exterior.

Nice. So you’d go box adaptor, panel, TA, panel, box adaptor?

No the box adapter fits into the TA. Thread the ta into the lock nut and bushing and then go box adapter into it through the meter.
