I had a question about splicing some wire and the proper way to do it. I am a contractor in the middle of siding my own home, the service was changed over a few years ago to 100 amp by what I would call a lazy electrician. I have overhead coming into the house, the mast comes down to a meter and then from there to a sub-panel on the outside with a breaker in it for the fire department. The reason I call the electrician lazy is because he then hung condit on the outside of the house for about 30 feet then ran up the wall about four feet straight into the room where the panel is and then ran conduit throught the room to the panel. What I would like to do is put a pulling elbow directly below the sub-panel then run it through my band board into my unfinished basement, across the floor joist and then up throught the wall inside conduit into the back of the panel. My question is, what kind of splices do I need for the wires? I'm going to use the wire that I already have but I think I may be about 3-4 foot short and I'm almost certain that splice needs to be within a junction box that will never be covered up.
Any instructions on how to do this and materials I need would be great.
