Thanks Robbie for the specifics.

We have no such restriction in the NEC and I really don't see the point.

Here it is common to see a male term adapter into a threaded hub and I don't see them breaking unless the rest of the installation is done poorly.

Too bad there isn't a code requirement for exposed runs. Along with the violations, the way that PVC is 'bowed' into those boxes..looks well ________ ,(U fill in the blank).

c'mon, how much work would it be to cut a little block of wood to screw that clip on to and prevent that horrid bow in the conduit? or at least use some 1/2" EMT and do a couple Over-The-Bumper offsets, I for one would hate to have something that ugly on the side of my house!

Elvis,
My sentiments exactly, mate!.
Nothing screams more of "I don't care!", than a horrid install like this.
I was thinking that a stand-off saddle should have been used in the top section of conduit to take that nasty looking bend out, at the very least.
I'd be very interested to see how that lower section of conduit runs back into the building.
You aren't in that boat alone either,
if I came home and saw that some clown had done a job like that, I'd either be on the phone or I'd be going to their shop to "see" them!.

It looks like typical DIY work, I doubt any electrician did this.
