Apropos another thread now running in Theater III ("Electrical Code
question:"accessibility"), let me pose this general question to all you
experts out the

Does the code (NEC) require that all junction boxes inside walls be
accessible? Or only certain ones? And why?

Let me first say that I have put junction boxes in walls that were not
accessible. Am I now guilty of a crime because of this?

Does this even make sense? Is the general idea that all such boxes be
accessible in case future additions or repairs become necessary?

"In 1964 Barry Goldwater declared: 'Elect me president, and I
will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the
population into concentration camps and turn the country into a
wasteland.' But Lyndon Johnson said: 'No! No! No! Don't you dare do
that. Let ME do it.'"

presidential race by Professor Irwin Corey, "The World's Foremost
