I potentially have a project that will require buried splices of cables within a wall, without the use of a junction box. It will be a pre-fab home type of commercial project that will go together in sections. I know these are available for Romex:

I can't use Romex, as this is being installed in NYC, and it's not allowed by local amendment. Does a similar device exist for MC cable? This would be a "plug it together once and seal up the wall" type of connection. This is for a high end store, and the client is very sensitive to the idea of visible junction boxes, even if we dress up the blank cover plates.
Barring a suitable MC connector, my fallback plan is to wire everything in Smurf Tube, placing couplings where necessary at the joints, and pulling in the conductors after the wall sections are together.
Thoughts?
