I have an electrician installing new circuit from my existing panel to a new subpanel in my detached garage. The subpanel is in the inside wall of the garage. The installation is underground with 1.5" conduit. Instead of using an LB on the outside wall of the garage, the electrician heated a piece of the pvc to bend it and installed it directly up from the trench through the garage stucco wall into the subpanel. Typically ive seen an LB to transition from outside to inside. Is this install seem right?

You are right my friend and I bet it looks like s—t. I do one of 2 things which is install an LB or a junction box on both sides of the wall. Make him change it
