W/P BOX for a stucco wall
Anyone know of a vendor who makes a single gang box with a face flange suitable for a stucco wall. I have a number of WP boxes to install and would like something that I know I can seal – with a good bead of silicone all around the flange to stucco.
The normal approach, with cheap foam gaskets and such, does not inspire confidence.

Did I already suggest this one. Or was it to someone else.

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.

No, but I thank you. It looks like just the thing. I'll hunt them down. Like the mud and in-use covers. The ToolBear

Any plastic box will work, (in the rough stage)just stick it out past the face of the stucco, then the gasket will seal.
On existing stucco and tar paper, use duct tape around the edges of the hole before inserting the box.
Wish me luck. Found that if I trimmed a bit off the ears on an old work box, it would hold on the back of the stucco. We then caulked all around with silicone 2, twice. Box is rather glued in place and hopefully rain tight. The ToolBear
