An electric box assembly that includes a box extender having a tubular body with opposed sides arranged to be received within an electric box, and which box extender is formed with a pair of laterally outwardly extending face flanges arranged to be flush mounted against a wall surface in the assembled position. The box extender is devoid of any top or bottom flanges and is adapted to be secured in place within an electric box by the electric device, outlet receptacle, switch or the like. In an embodiment of the invention, the sides of the tubular body are tapered inwardly toward the central axis of the tubular body so as to permit the box extender to be nested one within the other to facilitate shipping and handling. In another form of the invention, the inner end of the box extender is provided with an inwardly turned circumscribing rear flange to define the inner opening of the box extender and which rear flange is provided with opposed clearance notches to facilitate the attachment of the wire conductors to the push-in captive lugs on the back side of an electrical device.
