ABSTRACT:
A recessible electrical receptacle including an open-ended housing mounted in a building member with a hinged closure pivotable from a service position to a recessed position flush with the building member. Sealing is disposed between the housing and closure for deterring introduction of fluid in the housing. A conventional duplex receptacle is mounted on the closure. Electrical conduits provide electrical communication between the receptacle and electrical contacts on the housing. A latch mounted on the housing may be selectively engaged with the housing to maintain the closure in the recessed position.
