ABSTRACT:
A receptacle shroud and shroud removal tool coact to selectively restrict unauthorized access to a channel-bound electrical receptacle. The receptacle shroud comprises a channel-engaging wall and a receptacle cover. The receptacle cover comprises a tool-receiving aperture. The channel-engaging wall is sized and shaped for snug insertion in a pedestal-bounding, structure-receiving channel. The channel-engaging wall is retained by friction forces at shroud-to-channel interfacing. The shroud removal tool comprises a shroud-engaging end and a handle end. The shroud-engaging end is insertable through the tool-receiving aperture. The handle end enables a user to manually impart shroud-removing forces to the shroud-engaging end, which shroud-engaging end transfers the shroud-removing forces to the receptacle shroud. The shroud-removing forces are operable to remove the channel-engaging wall from the structure-receiving channel.
