The electrical weatherhead is located on the exterior of a building, positioned at the very top of the vertical service conduit mast where overhead utility power lines attach to the structure. It is strategically mounted high above the ground—frequently penetrating the roofline or secured to an upper exterior wall fascia—to ensure that incoming service drop cables maintain safe vertical clearance heights above pedestrian walkways, driveways, and roadways. The weatherhead functions as a protective service entrance hood, pointing its cable exit ports downward to prevent rainwater from entering the vertical conduit pipe and flowing downward into the meter socket and main electrical panel.
