Inspector is not happy

[qcroanoke]

So, you're suggesting two nipples and a J-box?

I think you know what I meant

I don't like it and wouldn't do it that way but I see nothing wrong with it other than I would put a strap on the flex. I don't care about the fittings being 'non compliant" That is BS in the code as far as I am concerned. It's been done that way for years and is a non-issue IMHO

Do we know that the complaint did not originate with the customer on account of it being ugly?

That could be true. Was not directly meaning this customer

OP has not answered if there is an equipment grounding conductor in the run. I would contact the inspector directly and say I was trying to improve my code understanding and politely ask what code sections it violated. And I would not be surprised if the answer was 250.118.
