I am doing a remodel and needed to move an electrical outlet box (4S Box) up
as it was too close to the vanity top. It it wired with romex. When I
moved it I merely unscrewed the box from the stud and pushed it up about
1-2" and then refastened it. I did not undo the box connector and pull the
romex through. In order to move it this way, I had to push the romex into
the middle of the stud bay and kind of bend it around a bit. In other words
I couldn't just push the romex up and keep it straight. I guess it was
stapled to the stud somewhere above. I am wondering if this added bit of
pressure on the box/connector is in any way a problem. I have already put a
drywall patch on it and put the first coat of mud. I guess I thought that
if I did it this way and ever wanted to move that box, I would have some
romex in the wall? It is going behind tile so it will be hard to get to
unless the tile is removed. Any advice? It is kind of bugging me. I don't
really want to redo but will if I need to.
