Not only is there nothing wrong with it, But it's actually a good idea. There are no NEC violations from running a conduit in this location. I mean gosh, it's not like it's a busbar.

And out of sight out of mind, as long as the locker is not used. A bit unusual but works.

Yeah I didn't think it was illegal, just wanted some others opinions on the installation.
I wired up an ejector pump in a 100 or so year old school a while back and I used some very creative routing techniques to get from the panel to the pump. I had to go from mc, to pipe, to mc, to pipe, to mc to get through the 3 or 4 additions put onto the school to get to where I needed to be, and although not the prettiest install, it was intuitive. I wish I had taken pics.
And mind you this pump had to be installed in the newest addition after the fact. The original engineers or architects or someone up there screwed up big time and the entire base level of the new addition would flood with the higher storm and moon tides from the nearby bay. They had to jack out the entire floor and install a drain system after the entire addition was finished.

I see nothing wrong. Who ever got that locker would be dumb to become a electrician.

What if you need to stuff someone into the locker? You are limiting the ability of bullies to practice their art. Will someone think of the children?

the kid that gets this locker should get the 2 or 3 beside it, tap into the feeders inside the pipe for some grow lamps and he could have a nice little business going.

My thoughts exactly! IF this a real installation, and not "photoshopped", the school would stick a lock on it, and nobody would ever be assingned that locker. Probably could use some fireproofing around penetration though.

thus the epic fail.....lockers were always in short supply when I went to school. we had to share the half sized ones........so throw a big pipe in the way and you got even less room. I didn't mean code fail, I just ment fail in general

Maybe it's an emergency feeder and the locker has a two hour fire rating.
