Looks to me like EMT and some liqutite [sp] flex tubing. One EMT has a cable clamp. Not sure, are they using them for plumbing?

I am going to guess there needs to be a junction box.
Looks like 1/1/2" dia EMT.

Another thought would be if the EMT is used for ground and there is no green wire in the liquid tight, hense need for a box.

No I am not bored Dale, far from it! Just trying to get the new kids on the block to come forward and get involved, the picture here is in a residential condo and would be the type of inspection that a commercial inspector would encounter.

Those of you who replied should add to the discussion and point out the obvious defects.

If we were sitting at a table answering questions from the audience your remarks would be of no value to them, or just making a joke.

Please you lurkers come forward and get involved!

Ok one more try.
Should be a direct connection male to female with no extra piece in there causing diameter change.

Okay I will discuss this just a little and describe the defects that I see with the installation for you.

Now that I have done just a little typing my answer is still none.

The fittings are in question especially the EMT compression fitting used for the sealtight connection!
