ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues Pendent receptacle question. Is this install code?

I can't find the pic, but...
One guy tack welded a 1/2" pipe coupling to a 4-sq, used a strain relief cord connector and insisted it met the intent of the NEC.

I believe he originally had a 1/2" chase nipple thru the KO into the coupling, but had issues with the tightening.
