4' Round 1/2' Deep Pan Box Extension Ring: 57111

1/2" deep pan box extension rings are used to mount ceiling and wall lighting fixtures to provide additional wire capacity when needed. Garvin Industries pan box extension rings prevent the need to remove old pan boxes and wiring from circuits when additional wiring is needed.

I need a 3 inch extension because of the amount of layers. Nobody makes that and these are too expensive

I need a product almost exactly like this, except --

-- I'm not sure half-inch is the right thickness for my project. I am hoping somewhere to find quarter-inch-thick rings.

-- I have *plastic, not metal* boxes in slanted celings, that the installer erroneously aligned to the surface of the joists before the ceiling was drywalled. I've been hoping to find a simple plastic ring that simply sits in front of the plastic box and lets me pass my mounting screws through appropriate holes *into the existing holes in the mounted box*. Do you know whether any such thing exists, what it's called, and where I might get five of them?

- I haven't found anything like what I'm looking for, so far. The closest thing available at my local home-handyman store (the orange one), so far, is a plastic ring with a thin lip, that *reduces the diameter* of the whole apparatus to 3", which I would prefer not to do, and may require "mudding" after installation. I don't really know *how* the thing is *supposed* to be used, and am still seeking videos...

- In the case of this metal ring, you start off talking about how drywall might be "1/4 inch, 3/8 inch..." beyond the existing box -- but then state that your extender ring is 1/2 inch thick. How does that help with a "1/4 inch, 3/8 inch..." situation? Won't a half-inch ring push the new surface of the box *beyond* the drywall, causing a gap, now, between the fixture and the wall? Am I missing something?

- It also looks as though the addition of this extension ring imparts a slight rotation to the positions of the screw holes available for mounting the fixture. That's great if the fixture is *round*, but I have *rectangular* fixtures, which moreover mount very close to a roof peak, and so cannot be rotated by any amount from the orientation of the joist-mounted box itself. Clearly, I am not, nor would I think any customer ever would be, in a position to counter-rotate the box itself to compensate for the rotation imposed by the ring. Again -- am I missing something?

Woow good invention that is new I love it

Do these have 10/32" screws for ceiling fans? Is it possible to stack these? I'm redoing the ceiling and am forced to fir the ceiling to make new dry level. In the spot of the ceiling fan, I need to fir the fan box down 1.5", so I'd need 3 of these, unless you make a 1.5 deep round extension box with 10/32" holes/screws.
