I haven't checked this particular installation yet, but in their other conduit runs, they are using 1 1/4 condulets with RE bushings. The OZ 1 1/4 T condulet is listed at 32 cu. in.

I didn't see anything in Bedford's Electrical Code that would limit the length of the flex.. http://livepublish.municode.com/17/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-j.htm&vid=11924

I got the Bedford from your profile and just assumed the work was in that general area.The airport may have stricter codes from FAA.Not sure though.
I'm in Spring,just north of Houston,but I'll be in Plano tommorrow.

Why didn't they use j-boxes?
I believe using an oversized condulet poses problems of a different nature.
314.23? Exception?

Redsy,I thought of the support issues with the oversize condulet but figured since the inspector didnt cite it,to let it go.
