I'm building a charging station next to the driveway of my ski cabin. It's in the middle of a mature PNW rainforest so I'm putting a little roof over the Wall Connector to keep rain and forest debris off it. I'll be bringing the #6 THWN wire underground through 1" PVC conduit that will run up the backside of the mounting post where a conduit body will turn 90 degrees so I can run a short length of conduit through the center of the 6x6 mounting post the HPWC will be mounted to.
I have a 1" PVC male threaded adapter that will screw into the back of the HPWC (and allow me to glue a short length of conduit to it) but this would require cutting the conduit to unscrew the male threaded adapter (once it's all glued together) if I ever needed to remove the WC for service or replacement. Even though I don't expect this area to get wet due to the roof, what kind of fitting am I looking for that will seal against water but could be unscrewed from inside the WC for removal?
Also, is a wire strain relief clamp required here? I wouldn't think so since the wire is in conduit all the way to the electrical panel but any input appreciated.
