I’m wiring a type 2 surge protector and want to surface mount it on the drywall here with the cables going into the drywall and then into a breakout in the panel. What kind of conduit elbow can I get to hide the wires entering the drywall that will screw onto the threads on the surge protector? Thanks

It looks like your panel is also Eaton? If so, they make a surge protector that mounts directly to the bus bar: BNRSURGE (Amazon)

It is, but I think the protection is better from these external ones. And I’ve had equipment damaged by close lightning strikes twice in the past 6 weeks so don’t want to take any chances 😞
