Is it a code violation attach conduits together together using back to back mineralac straps. The conduit in question is securely mounted. If this is a violation could you give me a code referance.
Thanks,

Thanks for the help. Now I will look up these code references and see how it applies to my situation. I'm also a big Clint fan! Thanks again.

If the raceways have properly spaced supports, can you use back to back minerallac's as additional bracing?
 
When I first read this post with Bob's resoponse, I thought it would be the first 2 post thread ever. I guess not.

TKB, I'd say that taken exactly as the nec reads, no.
