Eaton WLRD 5 20 Wet Location Receptacle Cover - 5-20R

Copper-free aluminum construction delivers superior corrosion resistance in wet locations, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life in outdoor enclosures and wash-down areas. This rugged material choice minimizes galvanic corrosion when mounted near other metals, lowering replacement cycles and overall lifecycle expenses. The WLRD 5 20 supports a 5-20R receptacle for non-locking blade plugs, enabling consistent power delivery across multiple tools and motors in industrial settings. By combining weather resilience with a compact footprint, the cover reduces enclosure openings and helps maintain enclosure integrity in demanding environments. Electrical rating and receptacle compatibility provide tangible business value. A 20A, 125V rating and an established NEMA 5-20R configuration ensure safe, code-compliant connections for common workshop equipment, lighting, and control circuits. The copper-free aluminum housing, while lightweight, withstands the knocks and humidity typical of production floors. This compatibility also simplifies spare parts stocking and field retrofits by aligning with widely used plug designs. Horizontal mounting and a compact footprint simplify installation in restricted spaces. The opening diameter of 1-3/8 inches and the overall dimensions of 4.44 inches by 2.91 inches by 1.13 inches fit standard device boxes without heavy modification. The design supports quick wiring and receptacle seating, reducing labor time and on-site risk during upgrades or new builds. Compliance and certification streamlines procurement and testing. NEC/CEC standards and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classifications mean installers can rely on shared, industry-accepted criteria for safety and performance. The distribution of wet-location accessories from Eaton also aligns with UL certification paths for cross-border use in Canada and the United States, easing import and qualification processes. Installation resources and data sheets support field teams from planning to commissioning. IF 584 instruction sheets and Eaton specification pages provide clear, step-by-step guidelines, while the WLRS/WLRD catalog pages help maintain consistent product selection across sites. This translates into more predictable project timelines and reduced risk of noncompliance during audits.
