Protected While-in-Use Covers for Weatherproof Outlet Boxes
Keep these covers closed during operation to completely shield outlets and plugs from rain, snow, and wet indoor conditions. A sealing gasket keeps out dust and moisture. These corrosion-resistant covers are rated NEMA 3R for protection from falling liquids and light splashing. They meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200, which means they won’t release more than trace amounts of hazardous chemicals and won’t pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees.
All include adapter plates that allow you to modify the cover for use with NEMA outlets, GFCI outlets, circular outlets, and toggle switches. Covers for two devices can be modified for any combination of devices.
Expandable covers can be extended to cover greater depth.
