Flush to surface mount transition; Wet location.

[PillarOfAutumn]

I’m working on a project where I need to transition the wiring in a wall (single gang mud ring) to surface mount pipe. It could be considered a wet location so I can’t just use a single to 4sq extension box.

Can I make the transition by attaching a single gang bell box extension (w/ threaded hubs and a blank cover) to the single gang mud ring?

Or does anyone know any other method?

Since you mentioned a single gang mud ring, I'm assuming this is a commercial environment.
Since this is a commercial environment I'm assuming it's an existing pipe and wire project.
Assuming this is a pipe and wire project, I'm assuming single conductor Thhn/Thwn wet location rated conductors are present inside the flush mount box.

My 2 cents worth would be if you want to mount a bell box extension over the existing mud ring to convert to pipe, run a bead of silicone around the top and sides of it for good measure and go for it.

Unless the listing of those extensions says that you cannot that is exactly how I would do it.
