Good idea on adding a support. Since it looks
like appropriate conduit pieces are available, I
really don't see any reason to mess with plumbing
stuff. Thanks for the help.

Too much weight on the end will torque the cover and the box.=C2 If
you could add a support somehow, it would likely last longer.=C2 =C2

<dd>> Steve, you should be able to make an extension from a piece of
rigid metal conduit. It will be threaded on both ends & will need a
coupling to connect to the fixture. EMT conduit would probably be too
light unless you only need an inch or two extension.<br>
