ABSTRACT:
A telescoping box adapter that enables a user to adjust the enclosure on an electrical box from a compressed to an expanded configuration. The telescoping box adapter includes a first frame member that is secured to an electrical box. A second frame member having sidewalls slightly larger than the first frame member is slideable with respect to the first frame member. Additional frame members can be provided with successively larger sidewalls thus making each additional frame member slideable with respect to the next smaller frame member. A cover is secured to the outermost frame member and is movable from an open to a closed position. Sliding the outermost frame member fully forward adjusts the box adapter to a fully expanded configuration forming an expanded enclosure therein. Sliding the outermost frame member fully rearward adjusts the box adapter to a fully compressed configuration forming a compressed enclosure therein.
