What is the pull box material?
Carlon makes a "O-ring" gasket that goes on the the should of a male adapter, they have a self adhesive side and I would run some silicon around the outside.
Why not use a PVC pull box, with couplings and TAs, with glue on TA and inside box.
Then drill a drain hole in the bottom of the pull box

I think what Tom said, the O-rings, is technically the only 100% correct method as Sealing locknuts and myers hubs are technically only listed for rigid/IMC I believe. IIRC those O-rings are not available above 2" however. Another option that is often proposed on here is a myers hub -> RGS nipple -> PVC FA. Personally, in practice, I would use a regular TA at the bottom of boxes, and a myers hub on the sides and top. (Pretty much I avoid PVC above ground, other than a vertical meter riser, so I rarely run into this issue).

Heyco has two product series of gaskets for this application. They are easier to get than the Carlon product, because they are willing to sell them individually and sell directly. Unfortunately, it is only available up to 2", but so is the Carlon product.
