duplex behind permanent cabinet

[Unforgiven]

There is a 1 1/2" gap between a double duplex receptacle mounted in the gyp board wall behind a permanently installed wood cabinet.

Equipment on the cabinet shelves plug into the receptacles.

A hole through the cabinet is sufficent to allow removal of the cover plate and access the box.

I see nothing that clearly prohibits such an installation.

I've seen in other threads reference to 400.8(2), which seems like a stretch.

Am I missing something?

Art. 400 is for flexible cords. Unless the recep is fed with it, it doesn't apply.

As long as you can access the receptacle and box then you are fine.

I agree with Ken, 400.8(2) would not apply IMHO.
