Run SER cable to junction box, the installation correct?

Code violations side I see nothing in the photo that would make the installation unsafe. Overfilled raceway which may damage the conductors, ah no. Home made transition fitting, ah no. Stripped jacket and unmarked conductors, ah no. I would question as to whether or not the short length of raceway even is a raceway as opposed to a sleeve.
 
I sse a chade not a complete raceway connected between 2 items, such as boxes.
What code sections does a chase need to comply with? Why cant a 2 screw connector be used on the end of a chase? Of course a chase needs to have the vomplete cable assrmbly in it not just the individusl cables.

My guess is that there would be more heat buildup with the connector then if it were left open as in a sleeve.

Jim, are you PWI?:)
 
Is it code compliant? Ummm strictly speaking no but what I am way more interested in is what in the world is going on over there XD.
What situation has lead to this cobbled together SER nipple contraption into a not big enough junction box and a forum post from the apparently customer asking if this guy's $40 conduit experiment is code compliant?

First impression to me is that there is probably a better way to do whatever it is you guys are trying to do. But I'm not there so... Honestly if you need to make a forum post asking if this is code compliant you should probably just let your electrician do his thing. If you can't do that because he is so bad that you need to make forum posts checking his work then you should get a new electrician. But it's probably the former not the latter.
