This is a new one on me. Among other things, we occasionally install control panels and other equipment inside of prefabricated huts that are then shipped on site ready to be set in place and power run to it.
The latest one came in with siding that is not flat. It is ridged. Normally it is flat and we can route conduit through it and seal it pretty easily.
The hut we are now working on has two 6x12 inch rectangular cutouts framed in sheet metal for some field installed conduit. We have to put some stuff on the outside so I thought we could do something similar for our conduits. Can we just fill in the excess space around the conduit with duct seal? That just seems like it is kind of ugly.
What is the most common way to do this and make it weather tight and attractive, or at least not downright ugly?
