When I do this I seat the top and sides not the bottom so if by chance some water gets behind the box it will drain and not end up inside the wall. To answer the above comment about THHN, almost all THHN has been dual rated for ~20 years some main US brands going back much further the dual rating today is usually THWN-2 , +additional types but the THWN provides the wet location protection when going outside similar to UF. The difference is the THWN requires conduit the whole way box to box where UF only requires a bushing or clamp at the box | |
