Bought a mounting box from Andy to lower my B5442.

Curious to see if anyone has used emt to bring the box to a lower mounting height (brick house) and how they went about it.

In the electrical world if I was coming into the top of a weatherproof box I’d use a rain tight emt fitting and possibly even add a little silicone and/or maybe sealing washer. Might even consider drilling a weep hole in the bottom as well.

Or are you guys entering in the bottom of the box and using car flex/sealtight?

I recently completed a similar project involving mounting boxes for my outside cameras. Finding the appropriate placement to provide both beauty and functionality was a challenge! I loved the tips on using piping for improved cable management-something I wish I had done sooner.
 
You might find liquid-tite is the easiest to work with. Be sure to make a drip loop when connecting to the bottom of the box
