    Romex through brick wall
    I want to add an outlet on the exterior of my house. Can I run romex directly through a brick wall with no conduit to an exterior receptical that would be mounted over the hole the wire ran through?

    Thanks in advance for any information submitted.

    This is acceptable as long as the Romex is not exposed.
