Are framing members considered a "secure" means of support?
I ask because I was always required to install a bracket or something to support within 3' of the box.

Sorry, I was just over analyzing the code there. I was just beginning to think that I had overdone it in the past by installing some kind of brace near the box, but "securely fastened" seemed to be the key phrase in that code article.

This is wall brackets is for chair railing, or hand railing and backing for cabinets low and high, and for other fixtures of weight that are placed on walls.
PS: don't forget the bubble indicator on the vertical run of conduit, last picture...

Looks great! If you work in the xray area, don't stick around while they are hanging the lead sheeting. The guys that were doing it a few years back on the North Bay (Ontario), were always sick.

You are confusing terms.... Secured and supported are two different things.

Are you saying one of his pipes is not level/plumb? It all looks really good to me and I'm sure the sheetrock will be very impressed also..... Using a level while roughing walls is a good way to get reamed out, make it look good not perfect.

i think he's saying don't forget the level as in dont leave it there. Look real hard, and you can see a torpedo level still on one of the pipes

It's not a torpedo level, it's the insulation wrapped around the copper pipe where it contacts the horizontal bracing. Look directly above that about 4 feet and you see it again.
