Eaton ds128 Raintight Snap Switch Cover 1-gang

Product Description

The EATON ds128 is a raintight snap switch cover designed to protect general use snap switches installed in wet or outdoor locations. Manufactured from aluminum, this 1-gang cover provides a durable, corrosion-resistant enclosure that meets the demands of exterior electrical installations. Measuring 2.97 inches in length, 1.28 inches in width, and 6.13 inches in depth, it delivers a secure fit over standard snap switch assemblies. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical contractors install this cover where code requires weatherproof protection on externally mounted switches.

This cover is suited for residential and commercial electrical installations where snap switches are mounted in outdoor or damp-location enclosures. Typical applications include exterior wall-mounted switch locations on building exteriors, covered patios, garages, and utility areas where moisture exposure is a factor. The raintight construction helps prevent water intrusion around the switch opening, making it appropriate for installations subject to rain or splashing water.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Shut off power to the circuit at the breaker panel before beginning any work on the switch or enclosure. Verify that the cover gasket seats properly against the mounting surface to maintain the raintight rating. Do not overtighten mounting hardware, as this may distort the cover and compromise the weatherproof seal.
