Southwire VFW100W75CG Weatherproof In-use Cover

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE VFW100W75CG is a weatherproof in-use cover designed to protect electrical outlets and devices from moisture, rain, and environmental exposure during active use. This type of cover is installed over outdoor receptacles and is a code-required component in many exterior electrical installations governed by the NEC. It keeps cords plugged in and protected simultaneously, making it a standard item for electricians working on residential and light commercial exterior wiring projects. The unit weighs 19 pounds, indicating this is likely a bulk or multi-pack configuration suitable for stocking or larger jobsite needs.

Weatherproof in-use covers are used on exterior walls, decks, patios, garages, pool equipment areas, and other outdoor locations where receptacles must remain accessible while energized. They are commonly specified on projects where GFCI receptacles are installed outdoors per NEC requirements. This cover is appropriate for use in residential new construction, renovation, and service work where exterior outlet protection is required.
