Looking for what code says I can do in this situation.

I have a bath room wall that is wired with 3, 12/2 W/ground romex wires. One passes through wall and is a hard wire for central heater. One is a GFI and powers all plugs in bath. One is for wall light and goes to light in next room.

I am making the bath larger and need to take down the wall with the wires in it and move 36". This will cause the wires not to reach once put into the new wall.

I would just run all new wires from the fuse box but that would be very hard as I have catherial celings and all elec. wires are run through walls.

While I have seen junction boxes in the attic of older houses I was wondering what code is now on junction boxes in walls??

If you care to look in the National Electrical Code Book under artical 314 which covers Outlet,Device,Pull and Junction Boxes, Conduit Bodies, Fittings, and Manholes. You will find at article 314.29----"Boxes and Conduit bodies to Be Accesible. Boxes and conduit bodies shall be insalled so that the wiring contained in them can be rendered accessible without removing any part of the building or, in underground circuits, without excavationg sidewalks,paving, earth, or other substance that is to be used to establish the finished grade." There is an exception to this rule but it would not apply here. The AHJ might have other requirements. This is according to the current 2002 NEC. There will be other articles of the code that also apply.

Well I do not have a problem with making the box accesible. Just wanted to know if it is still allowed to even use junction boxes with spliced wires.

If I use a elec.outlet box mounted just like any other outlet box in a wall.
Twist wires together and use wire nuts.
Apply a full face cover.
There should not be a problem with this?

John, Why not just put a duplex outlet in the location where you need to make a connection. It will look like it "belongs" there, it will meet code (if you do it the way it should be done), will provide a VERY easy way to "connect" the wires, and will provide an "extra" duplex outlet for use if ever needed. ( I like to use the "heavy duty" -"high amprage" duplex outlets with the screw tightened clamping connections in the back. They are quicker than the ones requiring the wires to be "wrapped around" the screws and I am much more confident in the connection than the "spring - push in" connections on the "standard type" or lower amprage duplex outlets.) These heavy duty outlets cost more than the standard outlets, but you are not going to be using too many of them anyway. If you need to connect a 240 volt line you might consider a single 240 volt (heavy duty - higher amprage) outlet in a standard box as an easy way to have a connection for that as well. "Keep it to Code". Good luck, Gordon in IN

Used to be they could not be covered up- had to be accessible with removeable cover. Don't know what is current. (pun intended)
