Exactly what type of this cover is this called? Don't believe it's called raised cover.

It looks like a handy-box extension on a flat 4-11/16" 1-gang mud ring.

Is that a stock item, or cobbled together-- what IBM used to call "Field Expediency."
Looks like a flat 4" box cover (with the knockout in the center) coupled with a 2x4 with a knockout in the back. Possibly a 3/4" Romex entrance clamp holding it together.

It's a manufactured 4-11/16" mud ring. Note that the cover slots are away from the corners, and it's taller than the extension's 4" height. Plus the extension has no KOs.

No it's a 4 11/16" box with a stock item cover available from any decent supply house.

In NYC they're called adapter covers.

As mentioned in post #10 and illustrated in #11.

I think some manufacturers will call a device ring with rounded corners a "mud" or "plaster" ring, while ones with square or beveled corners are called "tile" rings.
