Re: CQD answer published Monday, April 10, 2017 -Box Extension
FPN- if you do use the extension to pipe in/out, other than when bringing the box” out of the wall”, & I have to get into the back box to do maintenance, ect, just know I will be making your ears as red as Santa’s nose. Fighting this kind of install is my number 1 pet peeve.

Answer:
Hey John thanks for your comment, you make a good point. Besides making it more difficult to access the conductors those that are spliced or terminated must extend at least 3 inches outside the opening as stated in 300.14. Limiting the number of circuits in an enclosure reduces the effects from a short circuit or ground fault as stated in 90.8(B)
