waterandlandman asked:
when i built my house ,all the outside light fixtures were put up before the vinyl siding was put on ,so the junction boxes are underneath the siding ,now i am adding a extra light ,need to know what type of wet location junction box to use and how to install it to code and be sealed from wet weather.

You don’t need a special wet location box. Buy and “old work” 4″ round plastic box, cut hole, put wire in box, place box in hole, install light. The light needs to be designed for exterior use. Your real problem will be to support the light without causing the siding to flatten.

For the wire through the arlington 8081f and similar boxes only small hole for the arlington 8081f and similar boxes only small.
For the wire through the osbplywood or whatever see httpwwwaifittingscomk_4htm.

For the best way to mount lights on siding is the wire through the arlington 8081f and similar boxes only small hole for the wire through the wire.
