Doesn't 314.23(E) come into play here?

I could be wrong but I thought xxx.12 rules of things that are not permitted uses trump the other general articles.

I've read the other posts and have had this very discussion on other forums in the past. In my opinion, sometimes the exact wording of sections creates unintended consequences that were not conceived of before the wording was finalized in the code.

In these cases, common sense and good judgment on the part of the AHJ must be made to determine what installations are suitable or not based on conflicting information provided by the code or other recognized standards.

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.
Quote:

"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

Quote:

"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.

Bryan I agree common sense says the J box is probably not going to be a probl;em only supported by the RNC. My original objection was to hanging the transformer up there, only supported by RNC. It was after really looking that the actual language became troublesome.
