this is what I've always done but I go to hardware store to get the O ring and show inspector the Carlon Catalog. Sometimes Use a box adaptor too.

Sometimes I stop the step bit early and thread in my TA then the locknut is just a little extra for giggles

While attending an IAEI meeting/ continuing education class that nights instructor a brilliant well respected person from UL Labs asked us a few "Is that a code issue" . He said that you should never drill a hole thru a PVC FS or FD box. My come back was when you purchase 6 by 6" & larger PVC boxes you must drill holes. He replied that just because you can do something too often its not code complient. I always stocked sealing locknuts & sealing O rings.

He maybe is right when it comes to FS or FD boxes.
