Very easy to install

My electrical box was too shallow to install a new GFCI outlet in the bathroom and I wasn't sure what could be done to fix it other than a deeper electrical box in the Wall install (which would also mean cut walls). I found this product and it completely solved my problem. This gave the box enough space to install a new RCD socket without having to open up the bathroom wall. And it also looks very stylish.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Running speed

Great for installing the GFI in a flat box

I had a very flat surface mount box and needed to convert the socket to a GFI socket. The GFI was quite bulky and I couldn't fit it all the way into the box. This cheap solution worked great. The screws that came with it were more than adequate. And the panel cutout was big enough to fit in the GFI. I found several other options at Revain but this was the only one with long screws!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Clarity

The perfect solution for a wireless switch in a crowded closet

I recently installed a Moesgo Wi-Fi enabled switch, only to find that the new switch's thick, elongated back just didn't fit in my cluttered electrical box. Too bad. This is a problem with many electronic switches, including dimmer switches and GFCIs. The flat surface box extension turned out to be the PERFECT solution to my problem. It is very solidly built and fits perfectly. One of the very nice things is that the correct size (extended) screws are included in the kit.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

The screws that came with it were more than adequate. And the panel cutout was big enough to fit in the GFI. I found several other options at Revain but this was the only one with long screws!

Pros
  • Fits any standard single wall panel. Quick, easy and convenient, saving you time and money
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
