I want to add a surface-mounted GFCI outlet on the wall in an unfinished

12/2 NM.

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
plastic/PVC instead of metal. *I am thinking of using this type of PVC box:

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.

As long as the 12/2 has a ground wire electrically you are ok. but
your local zoning may require conduit or BX, depending on how the
unions have twisted the local building folks around to their more
expensive way of thinking.
