Perfectly fine.

I won't need to ground the junction box since it's going to be duct
taped to a water pipe which is already grounded.

Awesome!


Kidding!

Awwwe, I'm saddened.


But seriously, what if all of the Romex was 14/2 w/o ground, like
might be found in a older home (including some sections of mine). How
would one deal with a metal junction box in that case?

Perhaps this will cheer you up:

Maybe I was kidding when I said I was kidding.

If you're not kidding, be sure to buy grounded duct tape. You may have
to buy it at an electrical supply store since Home Depot or True Value
may not have it. This duct tape has a fine metallic mesh built into it,
and a green embedded wire, and that needs to be connected to a proper
ground.

Warning about that!

That tape has embedded gps's woven in to it. Code inspectors can access it
and visit for violations.

I'll connect the duct tape to the junction box since it'll be duct
taped to the pipe which is grounded.
