You just said that you intend to bury the box in drywall. Not least, your panel does have a convenience receptacle for the Electrician right next to it, right? No? Why not put a receptacle on the face of this junction box? ** Many of my installations have a junction box near the panel. And even then, your inspector may not allow the Tyco method given the limited conditions under which it's allowed to be used, and the pre-existing cable damage to this cable. That is the only code-legal way to make a splice without without a junction box that remains accessible. I would rather solder the wires before adding the wire nuts, probably a no-no? Any better options? Thanksīased on what you say you want to do, your only option is the Tyco type "inside the drywall" boxless splices now on the market. So I want the cable connection to be rock solid. I will be fixing the dry wall so no access will be possible in the future, unless I cut the drywall again. I'll add an foot or so of cable to extend it into the panel and make the connections. Then the cable would come into the box from the top with a wire clamp. Either box would be fitted to a 1/2 in nipple and threaded to the panel (and the box). I'm wondering if I can use a conduit box? instead of the 1 gang box. I think a regular 1 gang metal box may fit there. Optionally, I can move the brown cable to the empty knockout and put the box closer to the stud. I'm looking at a metal box, located above the panel on the inside of the wall (see picture pls). So now I'm looking to extend the cable into the new panel because I only have about one inch of wire (hot and ground) inside the panel. The neutral seems to have the insulation scorched only. I stripped the hot and that looks good above the damage.
I replaced the panel yesterday, and as I was removing the old panel, the hot and ground wires from a damaged cable broke off.
