Box support

[pismo]

Yesterday I was written up by the inspector for using the conduit to support a weatherproof box on the roof. I penetrated the roof with a 1/2 emt right into the bottom of the box. He said It was ok if I had 2 conduits to the box. Is this correct?

Take a look at 314.23(E).

What about the exception 314.23(E) 05' NEC ?

Greg,
How does the exception apply to the original question?

Thats an easy fix pismo. Just support the box. Remember that a conduit body (LB, LL, LR ect.) are not boxes.

Greg,
It only applies to conduit bodies, not boxes.
