Does anyone know the sizes of the knockout holes on the bottom of the EG4 6000XP?

Have one on order from CC and just getting everything lined up that I'll need as far as cable clamps/glands/grommets, etc.

@HighTechLab can probably respond or write CC direct and ask them.

Yeah good point - just figured I'd ask here first since a number of folks have started working with them...

Scrubbed the manual and can't find it in there - I have a unit that I can check, but it's not going to be until Monday that I am back in the office. Sorry for late response, missed the notification!

Did I miss something in the photo markup? I’m not sure if there is a different one you are referring to that I didn’t show in my markup.

@HighTechLab Opps my error I didn't include: I am looking for the size of the knockout on the left and right sides of the Inverter.
I am planning to get 2 each of the Inverters and connecting them with a straight PVC to run power wires from Inverter Combiner panel to a Loads Panel.
I am sorry for the confusion, my mind thinks faster that my hunt and pic typing.

No knockouts on the left and right sides of the inverters.

A tank-cutter and Dremel are your friends!

Greenlee Slugbuster would be the more professional way, that way you don’t get metal shavings spread throughout the inverter.

Yeah, that kind of hole punch is what I would call a "tank cutter". Definitely wouldn't use a hole saw unless the bit was removable.

I received my new inverters today and the right side knock out is one 1.5" not two 3/4"

Yeah I heard somewhere they were going to be changing the knock outs a little bit to do things like aligning the holes for the battery with the terminals. Sounds like they changed some other knock outs as well.
