ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion NEC & other Code issues CU & AL Spliced in LB

Hi,
What is the latest on splices in fittings? What about a splice in a LB just below the ceiling over a porch..the feed is AL from the main panelboard...to the LB from there it is Copper in PVC on the outside wall to a 125A 3R Panelboard which serves a pool and hot tub. the splices were made with those expensive CU/AL split bolts..130C and 33..

is the LB ok or should it get a J-box?

This is a transition from NM to outside wiring method..

Thanks for any replies
