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.)

Hi:

I want to put some GFCIs in place of regular duplex outlets.
Because
the
GFCI is about twice the thickness and somewhat wider then the outlet
it
replaces, I know from past experience it will be a PITA to get the
new
outlet and the wires back into place.

Extension "rings" will do the job but they look like sh*t.

Does "someone" make an extension ring that tapers out that I could
paint
to
match the wall but would give me 1/2 to 3/4" more wiring room?

Thanks


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

I believe they make a plastic one as well as
the traditional steel.
