When comparing other opinions on this subject, I'm having trouble deciding whether or not a J-box mounted in the brick or a J-box mounted to a wooden stud on an exterior wall of a building is considered a wet or a damp location. Based on the new regulation in 334.12(B)(4), we might be in trouble using NM cable for wiring in these boxes. This would come into play for mounting luminaries or weather proof receptacles. What is the opinion of the inspectors?
