Strapping NM from box to box

[jap]

Some residential only guys don't know there are any other wiring methods besides NM and SE cable.

I think the abbreviations for those type of electricians are DIY's.

I will have to say, it's almost embarrassing to even talk about this kind of stuff when coming from an industrial electrical background.

The thing is that things like this are covered by the NEC.

In a one size fits all manner.

Put a 5 foot piece of 3 inch RMC between two cabinets with no straps, just double locknuts on each end. Bet it isn't going anywhere without taking cabinet with it, inside component with it, etc. Bet if you put a strap in exact center it still does same thing plus takes the strap along for the ride.

Why not just mount the receptacle's box right to the panel cover? Chase nipple into the panel, and leave plenty of slack conductor to allow for removal of the cover.

You can't do that, the receptacle is upside down!

It's in Australia, so it's fine.

It may be that the receptacle is right side up for those who like the "ground down" and the picture of the panel cover is up side down.
