Reply to comment by CuriousityJH in Attempting to move a wall outlet in my basement a few inches to the left and am totally stumped. Any help GREATLY appreciated!! by JamesHoIden

Wow, never even considered this, I really don’t even need the outlet at all, but from what I understand, it needs to be accessible, so I think just flipping it around would be enough. Thank you so much. It looks like there are screws facing the drywall just above the wall opening. So to remove the box, I just cut the opening a little higher so I can and remove those screws, then pull it off the conduits? Thanks again!

Remember that Code’s idea of accessing a junction box means not cutting holes in drywall.

Having to unload either a closet or a bookshelf to get at the wall plate would pass inspection. Having to unbolt a ‘fixed’ bookshelf or cabinet carcass would not.
