If everything is tight, whats not workman like about it??

Frankly, if you walked into this situation and saw this mess, wouldn't you begin to question what other shortcuts or bodged work was done here? There are at least a few other wiring methods that would do the job better.

Looking very closely at the pictures, it appears that both wall surfaces are on the same plane, so why wasn't a single piece of emt, rigid or even sealtite used here? Two fittings and one support and wham, bam you're done. That hack job must've taken at least twice as long as doing it right, not to mention a radically higher material cost and having to evidently enlarge the KO in that subpanel. I cannot justify this in any way, so:

If I saw this as an AHJ, it would rate a correction sticker. And yes, I would argue Art. 110-12. [Linked Image] And maybe even (not sure of the applicable Code section) a red tag for making that KO in the subpanel so large it could be argued that the mechanical strength of the panel wall was reduced.

Stupid should be painful.
