I am installing an outlet on the outside of my brick house and I have

already run the romex to the outside by drilling a 1/2" hole through

the box. If I used a regular NM clamp, I would need to make the hole

in the brick a lot bigger, like an inch or so diameter, so the box

would sit flush against the brick, and so the clamp would fit inside

the 1 inch hole.

Is there another way to do this? Do I even need to secure the romex to

the box? Or can I secure it from inside the house before it enters the

hole to go outside and just caulk it or use GreatStuff to seal it?

Can't have Romex exposed.
