Hubbell HBL5222 Weatherproof Electrical Box Cover

Product Description

The Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems HBL5222 is a weatherproof electrical box cover made from polycarbonate, designed to protect electrical boxes and their connections from moisture, dust, and environmental exposure. Weighing 0.25 pounds, this lightweight cover is built for installations where outdoor or damp-location protection is required. Electricians and maintenance technicians install this type of cover on standard electrical boxes to maintain enclosure integrity and meet code requirements for wet or damp-rated locations.

The HBL5222 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where exposed electrical boxes require weatherproof protection. Typical install scenarios include exterior walls, covered patios, garages, and other locations subject to moisture intrusion. The polycarbonate construction provides durability in outdoor environments without the corrosion risk associated with metal covers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes for wet or damp location enclosures. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel before servicing the box or installing the cover. Ensure the gasket or sealing surface is clean and properly seated to maintain the weatherproof rating. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as polycarbonate covers can crack under excessive torque.
