Decorative box extentions

Hmmm, I never had any trouble fitting one into a standard size box. Tony

i've had your problem. you could put a gfi breaker in the nearby subpanel. or what we did was install a wiremold kit and put in their deepest surface mounted box but double or multiple width to give us more options for lightswitch and switched outlets lights and fan and outlet for this 1910 bathroom update.

The Wiremold "starter" or extension boxes are useful for this app.

It can be a problem with a lot of connections and stiff wires in the box. Then, there's shallow boxes.

Putting in a sub-panel is one of my "long term" solutions to several wiring problems. In the short term I am stuck wtih the "Bulldog" pushmatic main panel. I can't even get NEW replacement breakers of any type (plenty of electricians still have them floating around in the backs of thier trucks.)

In another room, I did use a wiremold as an extension and cut out some of it to make room for a switch. Painted black on a paneled wall it doesn't look TOO bad. That's my fall back position using white paint.

As mentioned, I am aware of that.

Thanks

Leviton makes a single gang white plastic extension ring. They are about $6.00 at Home Depot. I used it in my bathroom and it works and looks fine.

Does it have a "taper" on the outside to sort of blend into the wall?

(I was in HD, not one of the super BIG stores however, and I didn't see what I was looking for. I did pick up some plastic extentions that are meant, I suppose, to build up when covering a wall with another layer of plasterboard.)

Thanks.

I will check their web site.
