ABSTRACT:
A hood is for preventing moisture from penetrating an outdoor electrical enclosure. The outdoor electrical enclosure includes a housing having a panel member, two sidewalls and a bottom wall extending from the panel member to define an opening. A telescoping door covers the opening when closed. The hood includes a unitary top portion with two sides and a panel tab for engaging the housing, and an integral gutter member which overlaps and extends beyond the sidewalls of the housing, in order to divert moisture from the hood to exterior portions of the sidewalls of the outdoor electrical enclosure housing. The integral gutter member has an s-shaped cross-section with an upper portion and a lower portion. When the telescoping door is closed, a door flange overlaps a gutter flange formed by the lower portion. Pin-slide hinges permit the door flange to rest flushly upon the gutter flange.
