The box enclosure can be formed of discrete components which can be assembled to form a single or multiple-gang box. A collar is provided as an interface between the box enclosure and the mounting surface. The collar hingeably retains a cover for optionally covering the electrical device. The cover in turn hingeably retains a cord door for admitting an electrical cord and other such cables. The cover and cord door each have respective gaskets which provide a fluid-tight seal to protect the electrical device. The cover can be manufactured for a single-gang or a multiple-gang electrical box.
