Is this a non-ideal installation or an actual NEC violation.

[joshlinc]

I have been looking at installations for years, and while I considered this a bad install, I really haven't been calling them out....

So if you have a free standing panelboard, is it OK to mound a switch on the side of the box or a plug off the bottom off 3-6 inches of conduit without any support other than the conduit or the enclosure? Attaching photos..

Is there a reference for why this is an issue, other than not a manufacturer's approved installation, may void UL listing and the general "neat and professional installation" reference of the NEC?

Any help would be appreciated.

The only problem I see are the boxes that are only supported by the conduit.

Welcome to the forum. The handy boxes need support. Any of the others. That are connected with just a nipple need supporting, or securing.
Odd to see a handy box In industrial location.
