Thomas Betts RS-5 Surface Electrical Box Cover Steel

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS RS-5 is a surface-mount electrical box cover made from steel. It is designed to close out and protect surface-mounted electrical enclosures, providing a secure and durable finish over outlet boxes and junction points in residential and commercial wiring applications. The steel construction offers solid mechanical protection against impact and incidental contact with live terminations. Licensed electricians and maintenance technicians typically install this cover as part of a completed electrical rough-in or retrofit project.

This type of cover is commonly installed in commercial spaces, utility rooms, and service areas where conduit and surface wiring methods are used.
