I was told by a industrial plant electriction that schedule 40 was not exceptable and I must use schedule 80 pipe to my panel from the meter housing, but that does not seem to be correct for residential? I have visited many new construction projects in m,y area that all have used schedule 40 AND Home Depot guys tell me schedule 40 is standard for my application.
Also, what is the maximum distance I may run from my meter to my panel, this same friend told me that I can only travel 15 feet from lug to lug max. before I have to use a fused disconnect between my meter and the panel, this too seems to be incoreect for residential can someone clarify this?
