LVD to the brown box wiring

[chin_k]

Anyone knows how the wiring is routed from the Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) to the Parallex Power Center (brown box)? I want to add an extra wire between them so that I can use a different LVD.

I'm not sure of the exact route of the wire to the LVD. I think there is a thread about it where Blue-Go said it ran along the outside kitchen wall from the brown box, up over the driver side windows (the wire chase behind the upper cabinets) then down the cab pillar to LVD.
My solution will be just run a new wire (heavier gauge) from the "brown box" straight along the outside wall base behind the sofa to the LVD. The much shorter run will reduce line loss. I will also include an additional wire for future elec/gas water heater 110 outlet.

I just read Blue's almost-full-page dissertation on the wiring in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=627&start=10

I don't think he explicitly said that he run the wire behind the sofa, but that is what I assume he did... It will be nice if he actually said what he did. If he did tell us, please correct me.

BTW, anyone know where is Blue?

Thank you, Hoosier. I was reading the same thread late last night too. Time to order some wiring and get busy for next few weeks

Same here...but a project for later this winter. I did buy the wire and a length of 1/2" (or 3/4") PVC pipe for a chase to run from the sink cabinet then along the wall (attached to the wood 2x4 behind the sofa), to the LVD. The PVC conduit will provide good protection and make "fishing" any future wire runs easier.
