| Sep 21, 2022 at 17:25 | comment | added | trawson | Thanks for all that. It matches my understanding but with a lot more detail :). The last point (junction boxes etc.) is where the code question comes up. I agree that something that's accessible by the code definition for the person who installs it may become inaccessible if someone else modifies things later. At the same time, while one can easily point out, as you have, that common sense and good practice suggest paying attention to that possibility, I think all the code requires is that the wiring methods (boxes, etc.) be accessible when they are installed. | |
