I live in Burbank, CA where code requires metal sheathing on all wiring inside walls. I'm trying to replace a fan, but the place where the wires come into the box are on the opposite side from the original, so the existing flex conduit wiring is too short to reach. I understand code does not allow for junction boxes to be buried in the wall. Can I add a junction box accessible by removing the fan, so as to extend the wires? How do you pros handle this? Here's a sketch if it helps.
