Arlington 60VW 1-gang Weatherproof In-use Cover Vertical

Product Description

The ARLINGTON 60VW is a 1-gang, low-profile weatherproof in-use outlet cover designed for both new construction and retrofit installations. It keeps a standard duplex outlet protected from the elements while a cord is actively plugged in, meeting NEC extra-duty requirements for in-use covers. The cover is molded from UV-rated plastic, making it suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure without cracking or yellowing. It mounts in a vertical orientation and ships in white with a paintable surface, allowing it to blend with exterior wall colors. Electricians and general contractors install this cover on exterior walls wherever a weatherproof outlet is required.

The 60VW is suited for residential and light commercial exterior applications where a standard 1-gang outlet box is installed. Common install locations include exterior house walls, covered patios, garages, and commercial building facades. The vertical orientation accommodates standard duplex receptacles and accepts a cord plug while maintaining the weatherproof seal required by code. It works with both new-work and existing-work single-gang boxes, making it a practical choice for service calls on older installations as well as new builds.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for outdoor receptacle protection. Turn off the circuit breaker controlling the outlet before beginning work. Secure the cover to the single-gang box using the provided or appropriate fasteners, and verify the gasket seals flush against the wall surface to maintain the weatherproof rating. Do not force the cover closed over oversized cord plugs, as this can compromise the weatherproof seal.
