I think I can figure out how to do it if I just use a metal box and metal
conduit. *But, I am wondering if there is a way that I can do it using

and then running the 12/2 NM wire down along the wall through 1/2-inch PVC
conduit to get to the box.

If I do that, my question is, "Is there some type of fitting or adapter that
goes on the top end of the PVC conduit where the 12/2 NM enters the PVC
conduit?"

If so, is that type of fitting shown anywhere in this product brochure?:

Thanks.

I don’t think you can run 12/2 NM and still comply with The NEC. How
far is the distance? If the distance is very short I don’t think it
matters.

Why not?
