During a remodeling job I inspected today I came across two junction boxes tucked inside an existing ceiling right next to a new can light that is in the addition that is not drywalled yet.
I have a problem with that because I do not believe that the junction boxes will be accessible when the the drywall is installed.
The electrician believes that they are accessible because he can remove the can and reach them. I however feel as though the flexible conduit that connects the can to the housing junction box will not allow that to happen.
Has anyone ever tried to do this and pass an inspection?
The electrician told me that he has had this exact sitation before and it passed. I am still not buying the accessible part although I see his point.
I figure I would pole this and think about since I like to be open minded.
