Re: Service Mask Head under Eaves
Bob,
From the NEC (copy and paste to eliminate typos - bold and underlining are mine)
- 230.54 Overhead Service Locations.
- - (B) Service Cable Equipped with Raintight Service Head or Gooseneck. Service cables shall be equipped with a raintight service head.
Exception: Type SE cable shall be permitted to be formed in a gooseneck and taped with a self-sealing weather-resistant thermoplastic.
- - (C) Service Heads and Goosenecks Above Service-Drop Attachment. Service heads and goosenecks in service-entrance cables shall be located above the point of attachment of the service-drop conductors to the building or other structure.
- - - Exception: Where it is impracticable to locate the service head or gooseneck above the point of attachment, the service head or gooseneck location shall be permitted not farther than 600 mm (24 in.) from the point of attachment.
That is not "service entrance cable", that is a raceway riser with a weather head and "service entrance conductors".
