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,
