Weather-protective cover provides a sealed opening for 1-gang enclosures, reducing moisture ingress. This reduces corrosion risk and lowers maintenance downtime in outdoor installations. It is ideal for outdoor electrical panels and damp indoor spaces where continuous operation is critical. Deeper profile adds extra-duty sealing with 1.562 in depth, improving durability in harsh conditions. The business impact is a longer service life and fewer field service calls for gasket replacements. This is especially valuable for outdoor feeders and equipment exposed to dust, rain, and wash-down cycles. Polycarbonate construction delivers impact resistance and UV stability while maintaining a lighter weight. The material choice supports longer service intervals and lower replacement costs over time. In applications like weather-protected enclosures near coastal spray or industrial environments, the cover maintains its shape and seal. Surface mounting and horizontal orientation simplify installation on standard enclosures. The standard wallplate size supports common mounting configurations, reducing the need for custom adapters. This compatibility translates to faster project kickoff and reduced spare-part inventory. Multiple cutout configurations and a single 1-gang footprint provide flexibility for retrofit projects. This reduces the number of SKUs and accelerates procurement while maintaining a single-family product line. Works well in retrofit projects upgrading existing enclosures to weather-resistant service. Designed for Wet environmental conditions, the cover aligns with NEC and NEMA expectations for weather protection. The product line's compatibility with Eaton's WIUX series also supports streamlined maintenance and warranty coverage.
