I agree with you. If there is no splice to come loose, what would be the
problem? I believe to do it properly, you'd have to disconnect the
conductors at the previous junction.

Hiya Folks,
I'm in the process of putting some cabinets up in my laundry room. In
the process, I am putting in a pantry and there is a receptacle that could
be covered up. I know that all junctions need to be accessible so I am
initially planning to cut a hole in the side of the pantry to access the
receptacle. But one question comes to mind and for the life of me, I
cannot find my NEC code book. If this receptacle is at the end of a
circuit, can I simply remove the receptacle, cap the wires and put a blank
cap over it? There would then be no "junctions" per se and I could try
to track down the other ends of the wires and disconnect them too.
Keeping in mind that a pantry will then go over the blank plate. I
suspect the answer is no but thought I'd ask the collective wisdom of the
group. Thanks much.
Cheers,
