Copper-free aluminum housing resists corrosion in mixed-metal installations, delivering longer service life and lower maintenance costs in outdoor enclosures. The absence of copper removes a common galvanic corrosion pathway when this cover sits next to other metals, reducing unscheduled repairs and related downtime. This material choice is ideal for outdoor substations, wash-down areas, and damp process locations where enclosure integrity matters. The 15A, 250V AC rating with a 6-15R receptacle enables compatibility with common non-locking blade plugs used on power tools and equipment in workshops and facilities, reducing the need for adapters and keeping outlets compliant with NEC/CEC. Horizontal mounting and a 1-3/8 inch opening diameter simplify installation into standard device boxes, speeding retrofits and minimizing field modification. UL listing for wet-location protection and NEC/CEC compliance ensure regulatory alignment across US and Canada, which streamlines inspections. Lightweight at 0.8 lb and copper-free aluminum support easier shipping, handling, and installation in tight spaces, lowering total installed cost and total cost of ownership.
