Appleton 8497 Raised Cover 4-11/16 Inch Square

Product Description

The APPLETON 8497 is a raised cover designed for use with 4-11/16 inch square electrical boxes. It provides a finished surface and device-mounting platform for outlet boxes in residential and commercial electrical installations. The cover measures 5.6 inches by 5.6 inches with a profile height of 0.61 inches, making it a low-profile solution for standard square-box applications. Licensed electricians install this cover as part of rough-in and finish-out work on branch circuit wiring systems.

This raised cover is suited for standard 4-11/16 inch square electrical box installations in both residential and light commercial settings. It is typically used where a raised platform is needed to accommodate wiring devices, receptacles, or switches mounted to a deep square box. The cover brings the device face flush with finished wall or ceiling surfaces, supporting a clean and code-compliant installation.
