Appleton 8493N 4-11/16 Raised Outlet Box Cover

Product Description

The APPLETON 8493N is a 4-11/16 inch raised cover designed for use with square electrical outlet boxes. This cover plate provides a raised profile to accommodate wiring devices, allowing flush or slightly proud device mounting in standard box installations. Electricians install this cover as part of completing a wiring device rough-in, providing a finished, code-compliant surface over a 4-11/16 inch square box. At 0.44 pounds, it is a lightweight component suited for both new construction and retrofit applications.

The 8493N is appropriate for commercial and residential electrical installations where 4-11/16 inch square boxes are used. It is commonly installed in conduit-fed systems and hard-wired device locations. The raised design creates the standoff needed to bring a wiring device face flush with the finished wall surface when box depth and wall finish thickness require it. Licensed electricians typically install this cover during rough-in completion or device changeout work.

Key Features

• Raised cover profile accommodates wiring devices in 4-11/16 inch square box installations
• Compact footprint at 5.7 inches by 5.7 inches fits standard square box face dimensions
• Shallow 0.61 inch depth keeps wall profile low after installation
• Lightweight construction at 0.44 pounds for easy single-hand handling during install

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment cover for 4-11/16 inch square electrical outlet boxes in commercial and residential conduit wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before beginning work. Secure the cover to the box using the appropriate machine screws for the box type. Confirm the raised profile height is appropriate for the wall finish thickness before final device mounting.
