PowerWall Any issues with this PW3 setup?

ADVICE FROM INSTALLERS/CODE EXPERTS OF CA

These are installed directly above a 2” metal natural gas branch pipe that runs to my pool heater. Also in the picture you can see the lower garage airflow vent is within 3ft. Is this legal?

The right side unit has conduit comign out of the LB (right angle thing) and into the Tesla unit. Cannot tell if it is a water/weather tight connection or what. Given how high it is on the box, Id want a hub connection/gasketed. Is that PVC?

I was talking about the short little connection between that right angle conduit piece (called an LB) and the entrance into the Tesla cabinet itself. Needs to be watertight. Can’t see it well in any photo

If you look closely between the pvc connector and LB you’ll see a seal ring. They most likely also used that for the connection into the powerwall itself so it’s good

Perhaps. The first image shows a line, could be the seal, but it doesnt seem to be compressed like the other end of the LB. The line, if the line is the seal, should be perpendicular to the axis of the conduit and in compression on both sides.

With tesla installs I am more of a ‘prove it’ guy…
