My plans have changed as to where I am going to put my whole-house generator. will do a manual stop/start via lockout on the panel. The panel has one knockout left at the bottom. Because of the distance of the generator from the panel I'm going to pull #4 or aluminum equivalent. I also need to be able to get a feeder for my shop into the panel. That will probably be 2-2-2-4 aluminum. I'm hoping to be able to do 2" conduit from the panel down to some kind of junction box that lets me tee. The only conduit body that I can find that is a tee has 1 connection on the side and 2 on the ends. I really want something with 1 on one side and 2 on the other due to appearance and space constraints where it needs to go. I'm not sure I have room to turn the one on the side down. I'm coming out of the panel between the feed from the PoCo and the feed to my inside panel. It would also be a lot easier to pull if the cables were running straight down and not bending around a corner. Can I use a 6" weather-proof box for this and just bore holes for the conduit where I need it?
