Top of pole internal wiring [RE-wrenches]

[Darryl Thayer]

HI Gary
Some of te approaches I have used is to drill and tap
with a 1" pipe tap and put a "chase nipple" through
the back of the box into the pole.  Or Screw in a 90
degree seal tight connector.  If the top of the pole
is open more elaborate solutions are possible.
