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

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.

Exactly. I'm surprised noone mentioned that awkward fact in the
wiring codes. It has to be in conduit of some sort, usually in that
"spiral wrapped metal" stuf (?BX?).
