This device must be mounted in accordance
with all local and National Electrical Code
requirements. The following illustrations are
typical mounting configurations which may or
may not meet your local requirements.

This weatherproof receptacle cover can be
used outdoors or indoors where high humidi-
ty or water sprays may exist.  The cover is
molded of clear ultraviolet stabilized polycar-
bonate material for easy verification that
cords are properly plugged in.  This product
is U.L. listed for outdoor or indoor applica-
tions such as greenhouses, manu-facturing
plants, milking parlors, poultry houses and
other such applications. This weatherproof
receptacle cover should be installed on a
smooth flat non-porous surface such as flat
enameled siding, flat aluminum siding or
equivalent with no joints, cracks, gaps, ribs,
protrusions or other irregularities under them.

To  assure a weatherproof seal between the
cover and surfaces which are irregular such
as brick or cedar siding, a l/4" minimum bead
of nonhardening caulking compound of sili-
cone (preferred), neoprene, urethane or
polyurethane type should be placed between
the weatherproof receptacle gasket and the
mounting surface. (See fig. 3).

This weatherproof receptacle cover is
designed to provide protection for perma-
nently or semi-permanently installed appli-
ances such as rotisseries, low voltage out-
door lighting, holiday lighting or other such
permanent or semi-permanent power
requirements. This receptacle cover is
designed to protect the receptacle from mois-
ture “while in use” for safety and to prevent
nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker. When
properly closed, the recep-tacle cover will
protect all receptacles from rain or other
moisture whether in use or not.

This receptacle cover is designed for mount-
ing on a horizontal receptacle regardless of
whether it is a standard 2 outlet duplex or a 2
outlet decorator or GFI type outlet. Two
inserts are included with the receptacle cover
for these applications. 
(See Fig.1 & 2).

In order to ensure a weatherproof cover, the
self-closing receptacle cover must be
installed so that the hinge points are located
at the top. (See Fig. 3).
