Around here they are most often used to extend the box out to the level of
the plaster. The Borg carries a couple of different thickness of plastic
ones.

Thanks Mike, the outlets will still be connected in the approved box,
just moved out to the 3/4 plywood. I assumed that there will be enough
wire to move them to the plywood. I will check out the Borgs for the
extension boxes.

If you mean to screw the outlets directly to the 3/4in then the answer is
no. The wire have to connect to the outlet in an approved box. Yes, you
can get extensions for your boxes - they come in all sorts of different
sizes. The Borg carries a lot and an electrical supply house will certainly
carry any extension you may need that you can't find at the Borg.
