FAQs
The WIUX-1LPHCL is a 1-gang, surface-mount, horizontal cover designed to fit standard wallplates. Its cutout configurations are multi-configurable to accommodate common enclosure footprints, simplifying retrofits. When installing, verify the wallplate size is standard and that mounting surfaces are clean and dry. The cover’s dimensions (2.2 in depth, 4.33 in height, 5.83 in width) should align with typical single-gang housings to ensure a proper seal.
This cover is described as NEMA compliant and is intended for wet environmental conditions. The polycarbonate construction provides impact resistance and UV stability, reducing degradation from sun exposure. Its Extra Duty rating enhances durability against heavier use and harsher conditions, helping to prevent moisture ingress during frequent openings and closures.
Ideal for industrial automation panels, electrical rooms adjacent to outdoor equipment, and service bays where live circuitry requires protection without removing covers. Its weather-protective design makes it well-suited for manufacturing floors, utilities, and outdoor installations where condensation or rain exposure is a concern, while maintaining easy access for inspection and maintenance.
The product is noted as NEMA compliant, aligning with standard protection classifications for weatherproof enclosures. This helps teams meet regulatory expectations for outdoor and damp installations. While CE or IP ratings are not specified in the data, the NEMA compliance provides a recognized baseline for rugged, weather-resistant performance.
By remaining installed over live connections, the WIUX-1LPHCL reduces ingress potential and limits exposure during servicing, which lowers maintenance overhead and downtime. The Extra Duty rating adds durability for high-traffic sites, potentially extending service intervals and reducing total cost of ownership without sacrificing accessibility or safety.
