The installation is just plain rude.I wonder does this actually violate any code rule?
How is the junction box accessible? Other than with a Sawzall being applied to the plumbing, that is.I wonder does this actually violate any code rule?
I cannot tell by the picture for sure but it appears as there are not any cables/conductors going into this J-Box. Is it abandoned?Basement

New HVAC plumbing had been installed. Was tracing circuit to eliminate a shorted feed into a room traced to a junction box, was hoping to remove the line from the splices. Found a bunch of others similarly placed
Well, there don't appear to be any cables on the one side we can see. Three more to go.I cannot tell by the picture for sure but it appears as there are not any cables/conductors going into this J-Box. Is it abandoned?
Well then we have unused openings as well then...LOLWell, there don't appear to be any cables on the one side we can see. Three more to go.
There were some apparently removed before but there is still 4 in from other sides 1 needs to come out for the bad wire.I cannot tell by the picture for sure but it appears as there are not any cables/conductors going into this J-Box. Is it abandoned?
Sooo the light fixture is being used as a form of heat trace....LOLThere were some apparently removed before but there is still 4 in from other sides 1 needs to come out for the bad wire.
There are 5 more boxes in similar positions, and 1 light.

Not all the pipes were PEX, the ones covered in black wrap are sweated copper pipe and are not just unscrew hanger and swing out of way like the PEX might.Total butt hole move..
Although cutting the pex or what ever it is called sounds like fun I would and have done so in the past just relocate the clips and pex to access the j-box and leave it that way.
But it isn't a violation for a plumber to make such installation.
