Appleton FSK-1V 1-gang Vaportight Cover

Product Description

The APPLETON FSK-1V is a 1-gang vaportight cover designed to protect electrical devices and wiring connections in wet, damp, or corrosive environments. It seals out moisture, dust, and contaminants to maintain the integrity of the enclosure and the devices mounted within it. Electricians install this type of cover on switch, receptacle, or device boxes where code requires a vaportight fitting, such as in locations exposed to weather, wash-down conditions, or high humidity. It is a standard component in commercial, industrial, and residential electrical installations where moisture ingress is a concern.

The FSK-1V is suited for use in wet locations including outdoor installations, mechanical rooms, food processing areas, car washes, and similar environments where standard covers would not provide adequate protection. It mounts to a standard 1-gang device box and provides a sealed interface between the box and the cover to prevent water entry. Licensed electricians performing rough-in or service work in wet-rated locations will find this cover meets typical NEC requirements for vaportight assemblies.

Key Features

• Vaportight construction seals against moisture, dust, and environmental contaminants
• 1-gang configuration fits standard single-gang device boxes
• Suitable for wet and damp location applications per NEC guidelines
• Durable cover construction appropriate for industrial and commercial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation vaportight cover for standard 1-gang electrical device boxes in wet or damp rated locations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker before beginning any work on the device box or cover. Ensure the gasket seating surface is clean and undamaged before securing the cover to maintain a proper vaportight seal. Do not over-tighten mounting fasteners, as this may distort the gasket and compromise the seal.
