Is it ok to repair an electric wire inside a wall using Butt conecters and putting tape around them and placing them in a plastic plug box with a plastic cover and then sheetrock over them so you cant get to them also leave no slack in the repair so you could not pull them out of the box to check if you could get to them Thanks Randy

Randy, I am not sure what you are calling a Butt connector, but the only electrical connectors that I am aware of that can be concealed are either "Amp" connectors or "Molex" connectors. Neither one uses a junction box.
All other splices in NM Cable must be accessable.

Connections for standard 110 home wiring connections must be in a accessable standard switch box or equivalent junction box.You can not conceal the box in the wall and you can not just splice and wrap the connection in electrial wire.Use wire nuts and put a cover on the box .If you are doing these on your own and don't care about proper wiring codes you can do anything you want.However,thats also a good way to burn down a house.

I did not do this Patriot Homes repair people did it and sheetrocked over it I am calling Butt connectors the little blue or yellow connectors that you use when you fix boat trailer lights they are about 1 inch long and you crimp the ends after you stick the wire in them
