Hi,
I preparing to install a new 220V electric baseboard in my basement. I understant that they typically have a removable panel on the left and/or right side where the #10awg wire is pulled into. What's confusing me is that this suggests I'm supposed to leave 1-2 wires sitting in my wall as I install drywall over them, and then cut a small hole and fish the cables through the drywall, into the baseboard panel. My intuition says to install a junction box in the wall right behind where the left or right side of the baseboard will be, but my knowledge of the NEC says that would be a buried j-box and therefore a violation. What's typically done?
Thanks
Theodore
