Leviton Weatherproof Outlet Box, Extra Duty 1-Gang While-In-Use Cover Includes Inserts for Single, Duplex and Decora/GFCI Receptacles, Vertical Mount, Plastic Enclosure, 5980-UCL, Clear

The mounting is easy and the inserts for single/double outlets are really nice. I used this to for the outlet I run a cord from to my ditch pump for irrigation. The cord I use is 10/3 and that is that absolute max that can be worked into the lid cord notches and still be closed to be weatherproof.

Good value. Installed very easily and was exactly what professional electricians use for outdoor outlets. I installed mine very easily. No messing with circuit breakers or anything...just remove your old out-dated cover (hint: my outdoor outlet already had one that was old and gross) and replace with this one. What is good about these new models is that they protect from water. Older models have a metal cover that you need to hold up while plugging in. They do not protect from the elements from rain or water when in use. This is very dangerous. With the new models, your plugged in devices are protected and you don't risk a short-circuit. You definitely want this for all your outdoor outlets.

Has every combinations for plugs and switches , easy to install.

Got this to add an outdoor outlet. The rest of my house uses these covers so I decided to use the same even though there are many equivalents for a better price. I like that the foam seal is pretty thick and covers well past the outlet box. Shouldn’t have any problems with it leaking.

Serves the purpose. Easy to install. Would be nice if it were made a little stronger. Seems like it would break pretty easy. Probably have to replace it more than I would like.

I got five solid colored units. They are sturdy, have all the options (decorator, two gang individual, switch, circular) and the hinge and latch seem quite robust. I replaced three "while-in-use' covers that were shot and yellowed, and two of the hinged access in order to convert to "while-in-use". The oversight is the comically short screws provided. These screws will work in one situation only: The outlet box is flush with the wall. If you have a box that is back even with a stud, and you have plywood, wrap, and exterior finish adding to the box depth from the outside wall, the supplied screws are worthless. Just make sure you have a supply of various screws on hand before you start installation (my existing screws were all rusted). Not one of my boxes was far enough forward. Counter head wood screws will work fine into plastic boxes. Half star off for this lack of vision covering this variable. Also make sure you have top clearance for the hinge, and bottom clearance for your fingers to get into the latch (like if the outlet is over-counter and vertical). The two individual cord cut outs for the duplex and the unused hole cover wafers are convenient. Overall a very good product from a brand name ... except for the ridiculous screw length.

Please ignore any negative reviews. This a a very high quality product made with heavy duty plastic with the hinges, cover and inserts all machined to fit perfectly. The gasket is thick and covers the whole back except where the outlet is so provides great water protection. There will still be some uneven surfaces where you should either fill potential paths for water with silicone sealant or not use this type of cover. Put the top side of the rectangle outlet insert (single or double) under the gasket with the flat side with numbers/words on it facing outwards. Push in the bottom side firmly to get it inside the gasket as well. The inserts for the wire holes fit snugly in the middle of the cut outs. Put the round side in and push firmly on the flat side until it is all the way in. The screws supplied are a bit short but you don’t need them since you have to remove the outlet screws to connect this cover so just reuse those longer screws.

Easy to replace the old one

Easy to install and high quality, would recommend it to anyone.

Articulo de excelente calidad y fácil instalación 👌🏼

Very Good quality - happy with the purchase but.... It was just a little too small for the purpose I needed it for by about 1-2 cm. Could not fault quality of the product, just my measuring skills.

Esta cubierta claramente es ideal para contactos en zonas con mucha humedad o polvo. Contiene tapas de tomacorrientes dúplex de 15 ó 20 A a 120-240 V, para un solo contacto de 15 A a 240 V y para un contacto de 30 ó 50 A a 120-240 V. La cubierta no va a cerrar completamente si pones dos cables de uso rudo 3x12 ó 3x10 AWG , sí cierra si es uso rudo 2x12 o menores. Sin embargo, para el uso que les doy no tengo inconvenientes. Otro punto a considerar es que está diseñado para sujetarse a paredes, en las imágenes notarás que uno lo instalé sobre pared y otro sobre un Condulet FS de 1/2, en el de pared no hay problema, en el condulet el plástico foami se desprendía, para evitar que entrara agua o polvo durante la lluvia lo sellé con silicón, de ahí en fuera todo bien, cumple su función. Lo recomiendo, uso ideal sobre pared, si quieres que no entren insectos en la parte inferior puedes sellar con silicón si va ser permanente tu instalación.

Excelente artículo y hay la opción vertical
