ABSTRACT:
An environmentally sealed wiring device with removable weather-resistant cover includes a wiring device with a device housing, a shoulder extending from the device housing and a sealing element disposed about the shoulder. The wiring device includes wires extending through one or more openings in the device housing. The openings are environmentally sealed around the wires to prevent moisture from entering the device. A weatherproof cover housing includes a pair of openings. The wiring device is positioned next to, and sometimes through, one of the openings. The sealing element is disposed between the weatherproof cover housing and the shoulder of the wiring device, providing a weatherproof seal therebetween, to prevent moisture from entering the device. A door is coupled to the weatherproof cover housing and can be rotated about an axis along an edge of the weatherproof cover housing between an open position and a closed position.
