I have looked and only found 313.17…

I’m trying to find where in the code if it’s a violation for a PVC conduit to enter the back of a metal box (1900 box) without using a PVC Connector. - full story the pvc is in a block wall with a stub 90 out at the top going into the back of a 1900 box but the stubs wouldn’t alow a connector to be put on and the box sit flush on the block wall. I know it’s a code violation but where does it say it

300.18 (a) says the raceway needs to be complete. It’s not complete without the connector to the box.

352.46 says you need a bushing or adapter to protect wire entering a box/enclosure
