As I have needed to do a few installations recently which were all

"In this example a surface box was used to make the transition from

fused connection unit)) to the high temperature butyl rubber flex that
feeds the heater."

I would have used a flex outlet plate with a cord grip.


With surface mounted cable needing a back box doesn't that result[1] in
the flex coming out above the surface and so presenting a loop which
could be snagged or requiring a very tight bend radius?

[1] even with a "side entry" outlet (which I always feel ought to be
called a "side exit" outlet)

Yup, that is a good point... The ones I had were side outlet. (in fact
even the blanking plate has a central knockout for front centre exit if
you wanted, but out the back against the wall seemed preferable.
