I popped this up over on ECN and they asked how can you make RNC "wrench tight"? so 314 must only refer to IMC or RMC.
352.12(b),<shall not be used to support> also says "... or other equipment not described in 352.10(H)."
That would exclude anything BUT a conduit body.
"Equipment. A general term including material, fittings, devices, appliances, luminaires (fixtures), apparatus, and the like used as a part of, or in connection with, an electrical installation." -art 100
I understand this brings up an interesting problem since there is no real way to support a "deck box" that is not in a deck. ... unless we want to call it a conduit body
"Conduit Body. A separate portion of a conduit or tubing system that provides access through a removable cover(s) to the interior of the system at a junction of two or more sections of the system or at a terminal point of the system.
Boxes such as FS and FD or larger cast or sheet metal boxes are not classified as conduit bodies."
Since is is not a FS, FD, "cast" or "sheet metal" that might not be to far a stretch. There is sufficient space for the splices.
