Product Description
The ARLINGTON 60vw is a 1-gang, low-profile in-and-out weatherproof in-use cover designed for vertical wall mounting of standard duplex or single receptacles. Constructed from UV-rated plastic, it protects energized outlets from moisture and weather exposure even when a cord is plugged in. The cover meets extra-duty code requirements for in-use weatherproof protection, making it suitable for exterior electrical installations on both new construction and existing outlets. Its low-profile design reduces protrusion from the wall surface compared to standard bubble covers. The white finish is paintable to match surrounding surfaces.
This cover is suited for residential and light commercial exterior applications where a vertically oriented receptacle requires compliant weatherproof protection. Typical installation scenarios include exterior wall outlets on homes, garages, decks, and outbuildings. It is designed to accommodate cords in both horizontal entry directions, supporting a range of plug orientations without compromising the weatherproof seal. Electricians install this cover during rough-in on new construction or as a direct retrofit over existing 1-gang outlet boxes on finished walls.

Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard upgrade cover for 1-gang vertical wall-mount receptacle boxes in residential and light commercial exterior installations.
Installation Notes
Installation is performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC requirements for weatherproof outlet covers in wet or damp locations. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before removing any existing cover or working at the outlet box. Secure the cover to the outlet box per manufacturer fastener guidance and verify the gasket seats flush to the wall surface to maintain the weatherproof rating. Do not install over a box that is not flush-mounted, as gaps in the seating surface will compromise weather protection.
