Bell Outdoor 5146-1 Weatherproof Cover 1 Gang Nema 3R

Product Description

The BELL OUTDOOR 5146-1 is a single-gang, self-closing weatherproof device box cover designed for outdoor duplex receptacle installations. Constructed from die-cast aluminum with a powder-coated white finish, it provides durable protection against moisture and physical wear. The flip-and-snap self-closing lid automatically seals the receptacle opening when not in use, maintaining NEMA 3R enclosure integrity. The cover measures 2.813 inches wide, 0.797 inches deep, and 4.563 inches tall. It ships with a gasket, mounting hardware, and multi-lingual instructions. Licensed electricians and qualified tradespeople install this cover as a code-compliant solution for outdoor electrical outlets in residential and light commercial applications.

The 5146-1 is suited for vertical device mounting on outdoor receptacle boxes in exposed locations such as building exteriors, covered patios, garages, and light commercial facades. Its NEMA 3R rating means it is listed for protection against falling rain, sleet, and external ice formation, making it appropriate for installations subject to direct weather exposure. The single-gang configuration accepts one duplex receptacle. The powder coat finish resists corrosion and surface scratching in outdoor environments.

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 panel before removing any existing cover or working on the receptacle. Ensure the supplied gasket is properly seated between the cover and the device box to maintain the NEMA 3R weatherproof rating. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this may distort the gasket and compromise the weatherproof seal.
