ABSTRACT:
A removable plug for closing an unused cord opening on an electrical box. The cord opening is typically a U-shaped slot extending from the side of an electrical box or side of the cover member. The plug includes a main body, inner arms and outer arms that define a channel therebetween. The channel has a width slightly greater than the walls of an electrical box that it will be used in conjunction with. The plug may be used to plug any unused cord openings to prevent the entry of insects into the electrical box. The plug can be removed or reinserted as desired to protect any unused cord openings.
