Is there an online source for mud rings? I need a 5 gang mud ring for
the standard 5 gang metal box (not the stacked gangable kind) but went
to three electrical supply houses locally and all they had were 3/4"
depth and they can't even special order it, says it does not EXIST!

I know they exist.

I searched the web and came up empty.

Thanks,

MC

Can you mount the box 1/4" back?

Not easy to do at this point, the box has been mounted with many pipes going
in, I would have to adjust over a dozen 1/2 and 3/4 EMT pipes to just shift
the box. I have two five gang boxes.

Is that code where you are - you have to use EMT for _all_ of the
wiring? Ouch.

No not required. The house was constructed mostly with commercial
methods. All wirings were in EMT. I have been using mostly EMT where
I am "tieing in", in walls. In the attic I have been using EMT only
to run to the boxes, then from there MC cables to the actual lighting
devices or fans. A few romexes not much.

After the electricians are done then I am going to wire the low
voltage, cat5, coax and phone myself, those I will run "free-willy"
style.
