ABSTRACT:
An electrical box cover for an outside electrical receptacle and box includes a generally flat, circular cover plate having a beveled rim and a flat, circular gasket. The cover plate and gasket have five corresponding linearly-aligned holes, including a center hole and two pairs of diametrically-opposed holes. The circular shape of the cover plate and gasket and the spacing of the holes enables the box cover to be used with several different types of outside electrical boxes, including cylindrical, single gang and double gang type electrical boxes. The cover plate additionally has two access openings for receiving a standard duplex electrical receptacle and two spring-activated snap lid doors for covering the openings and protecting the receptacle from outside elements.
