ABSTRACT:
Weatherproof electrical enclosure apparatus includes an electrical outlet and a cover pivotally secured to the outlet for sealingly engaging outlet elements to prevent moisture and foreign material from contacting electrical elements of the outlet. Secondary sealing elements are included to insure that moisture and foreign elements are prevented from entering into and contacting the electrical elements. The cover is pivotally secured with a releasable hinge to the outlet, and the cover includes an aperture or opening through which a cord extends. Secondary seal elements help to insure that the opening in the cover is sealed about the electrical cords. A primary embodiment includes a boot disposed around the outlet itself, and cords connected to the outlet contact the boot and are sealed by the boot.
