I have conduit outside of my home that was run to add additional wiring to the house, so it connects back inside to outlets, etc.
When the house was covered with vinyl siding some time ago, (before I owned it) it appears that the siding guys pulled on a 90 fitting in the conduit enough to pop a connection out farther down the wall. (This was so the conduit would go around the outside of a corner post.) So I have conduit hanging about an inch away from where it was supposed to connect. So there's exposed wires for that inch.
Can I cut some of this conduit out and add a junction box? I'd like to put an outlet on that side of the house on the outside anyway. I just didn't know if code would allow for an exterior junction box of any sort.
It's yet another thing I wish my inspector had either seen or told me about.
