I'm looking for a weather proof cover that will fit on a 4 inch round bell box. The cover needs to hold a heavy metal halide light fixture with a half inch male threaded knuckle. The fixtures are on a roof with high winds and the cast aluminum covers are breaking. Anybody have and ideas? I found some explosion proof covers, buy they are not threaded.

Re: Weather proof cover
Get a 1/2" pipe extender (nipple extender) and screw it into the aluminum cover. Then brace the pipe extender in two directions (like a service drop periscope is braced). Then hang the fixture on the braced pipe extender. A pipe extender is a MxF short nipple. Or, use a pipe and coupler to get enough purchase for your bracing system. Or, just brace the fixture directly by Tek screwing some EMT braces (flatten the each end of the EMT).
