Leviton Telcom 97W08-S Single Outlet IP66 Weatherproof Cover

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 97W08-S is a single-outlet weatherproof cover rated IP66 for use in outdoor and wet-location electrical installations. The IP66 rating indicates the enclosure is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, making it suitable for exposed exterior applications. This type of cover is installed over standard outlet boxes to maintain code-compliant protection where receptacles are mounted outdoors or in areas subject to moisture exposure. Electricians and electrical contractors install this hardware accessory as part of a compliant outdoor receptacle assembly.

This cover is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a single outlet requires weatherproof protection. Typical install locations include exterior building walls, covered patios, equipment pads, and similar wet or damp locations. The IP66 rating supports use in areas subject to direct water exposure, beyond standard in-use covers rated for damp locations only. It is sold as a single unit and is categorized as a hardware accessory within the electrical supply category.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for wet and damp locations. De-energize the circuit at the breaker before beginning any work on the outlet or cover assembly. Ensure the box and cover interface is properly sealed to maintain the IP66 rating. Do not overtighten mounting hardware, as this can crack the cover body and compromise the weatherproof seal.
