Description
The garage 200A breaker panel mounted on the mechanical room wall with two 1” conduits rising up from the floor and entering the bottom of the panel. These two conduits run underground from the house to the garage, entering through the garage floor where they merge from two separate 1” runs into the panel area. This was an unexpected addition to the SLS Electric scope — the owner was not previously aware that separate conduits would be run from the house for wire pulling.

Conduit Routing Note
The two 1” conduits from the house are separate from the original 2” PVC utility conduits that were installed through the foundation during the October 2025 pour. The original conduits were for electrical service, gas, water, sewer, and low-voltage. These new 1” conduits provide additional dedicated pathways specifically for wire pulling between the house panel and the garage panel.
