I would use tape on the wires, not nuts


Tape can chafe, adhesive on tape can loosen, especially at elevated
temperatures. No matter how you justify taking the easy way out, there is
always the possibility a problem can arise, next week, next year, next
decade.

Codes are written for a reason. Don't expect us to give you a blessing to
circumvent them.





I'm no expert, but I believe that if he disconnects the wires at the
upstream box, clips off the stripped ends, and pushes it out of the box
to drop down in the wall, no inspector would consider it a violation. He
could then completely pry out or otherwise obliterate the end box on the
run and not be in violation. Wire runs are abandoned in place all the
time- you just have to make it obvious to the guy 20 years from now that
the wire is not available for use.

But having said that, I agree with the others- cut a hole in the new
cabinet, put on an extension ring, and make an outlet inside the cabinet.
