ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus and method for providing a retrofitable cover on a preexisting plug which includes a lock on or quick release type connection. The retrofitable cover provides environment proof protection to an electrical connection between an extension cord and an electrical outlet box. The cover includes a hollow tubular housing and a hollow tubular end cap. As the end cap is tightened onto the hollow tubular housing, the housing contacts and compresses a bushing in the end cap to create a leak-free sealing of the interior of the housing. Another embodiment of the present invention is an extension cord which provides power to a plurality of receptacles which have the lock on and quick release connection feature.
