The instruction was to install the elbow above the footer and run 
pipe along the top of the concrete, then LB into the trench.  This 
was not directly told to me by an inspector, but by a NABCEP 
certified installer who said he has been forbidden to run pipe 
through the concrete by "building departments".  The theory was that 
the conduit would weaken the anchor.

I've got another pole mount coming up, and wanted to make sure that 
there wasn't something I was missing, possibly from the UBC.

Thanks to all who helped clear this up.  I plan to run the pipe 
through the concrete, as always.
