Eaton tp7308 Weatherproof Outlet Cover 3-outlet Nema 3R

Product Description

The EATON tp7308 is a weatherproof outlet cover designed to protect three-outlet electrical receptacle configurations from rain, dust, and environmental exposure. Built from die-cast aluminum with a powder-coated gray finish, this round-profile cover carries a NEMA 3R enclosure rating, making it suited for outdoor and wet-location electrical installations. A polyethylene foam gasket seals the cover against moisture ingress. Electricians install this type of cover over standard outdoor receptacle boxes where NEC wet-location protection is required. The 0.56-inch width profile keeps the assembly low-profile at the mounting surface, while the 4.25-inch depth accommodates standard outdoor box configurations.

This cover is appropriate for residential and light commercial outdoor electrical installations. Common applications include exterior wall receptacles, covered porches, outbuildings, and service panels where three-outlet access points need weather protection. The NEMA 3R rating confirms protection against falling rain and sleet, suitable for most outdoor environments that do not require full submersion or hosedown ratings. Licensed electricians working on exterior branch circuits will encounter this hardware as a standard component in wet-location outlet assemblies.

Key Features

• NEMA 3R rated enclosure for rain and sleet resistance in wet locations
• Die-cast aluminum construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Polyethylene foam gasket provides a moisture-resistant seal at the mounting surface
• Powder-coated gray finish resists UV degradation and surface corrosion
• Round shape with 3-outlet configuration accommodates standard outdoor receptacle layouts
• Low-profile 0.56-inch width keeps the installed footprint compact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation weatherproof cover for 3-outlet outdoor electrical receptacle boxes meeting NEMA 3R wet-location requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC wet-location wiring requirements. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a voltage tester before beginning any receptacle or cover work. Ensure the foam gasket seats evenly against the mounting surface to maintain the NEMA 3R seal. Do not overtighten mounting fasteners, as this can compress the gasket unevenly and compromise the weather seal.
