I am planning on doing a 200A service soon and i have a material list already but i need to make sure I am doing this in one day and not having to come back for a second time, can anyone post a quick material list for a standard 200A overhead service in PVC pipe with back to back meter to panel, one more thing, Is it #4 awg from rods to meter or #6? is it #4awg from panel to water meter? i have not done a service in a while and i just want to make sure i have it all covered.

I will gladly appreciated.

#6 Cu to the ground rods. Remember that you will also need an intersystem bonding bridge (ground block) so I normally run the #6 thru it.

FWIW, check on your PoCo. Some (such as PSE&G) don't want any grounding in the meter pan, so you need to bring that #6 GEC directly inside to the panel.

As for the water pipe, I use #2 Al to save money. You can use #4 Cu if you prefer. Remember to jump the meter. Also remember to jump the water heater.

Thanks DIY.
