Intermatic WP3100C Weatherproof Outlet Cover for Outdoor Use - Heavy-Duty, Easy Install

The Plastic In-Use Weatherproof Covers are designed for easy installation and come equipped with everything needed for various applications, including an adhered gasket, mounting screws, base, cover assembly, and inserts. Specifically, the WP3100C model serves as a single gang NEMA 3R receptacle cover, which is compliant with the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 406.8(B)(1). This regulation stipulates that any 15 and 20 ampere receptacles rated for 125 and 250 volts, installed in wet locations, must have a weatherproof enclosure, regardless of whether there is an attachment plug cap in place.

In addition, the WP3100C meets standards outlined in both the 1999 NEC Article 410-57(b) and Article 210-60(b), which mandate that receptacles used in hotels and motels, particularly those positioned behind beds, should be safeguarded with an appropriate guard. When shipped, the WP3100C includes a gasket, mounting screws, and a comprehensive base and cover assembly along with patented inserts. The Flexi-Guard series, specifically tailored for this model, offers inserts suitable for 16 specific applications. Users can mount the WP3100C either horizontally or vertically, providing flexibility in installation.

This product is designed to be weatherproof, meeting the rigorous standards of UL Type 3R outdoor enclosures and complying with the 2020 NEC Article 314.15 for areas prone to dampness and wetness. This makes the WP3100C a dependable choice for outdoor electrical installations.

Moreover, installation is simplified by the inclusion of a pre-adhered neoprene gasket measuring 1/8" (3 mm) thick, which features slits for the mounting screws. This eliminates the hassle often associated with initial setup and enhances user convenience.

Constructed from heavy-duty, UV-stabilized polycarbonate, the cover, mounting base, and inserts are built to withstand the elements, ensuring long-lasting protection against the harsh outdoor environment. The versatility of the WP3100C is one of its standout features, as it offers three different inserts: GFCI, standard duplex, and toggle round. This versatility ensures that the cover can accommodate various installations and can be mounted both vertically and horizontally.

Lastly, the patented insert design allows for a secure fit while ensuring compatibility with the single gang NEMA 3R receptacle cover. It is capable of accommodating cord sizes of up to (2) #14 AWG or (1) #12 AWG. The overall dimensions of each unit are 5.75” x 4” x 2.75”, which are compact yet functional for various outdoor electrical needs. The WP3100C is an excellent choice for those seeking durable, flexible, and secure weatherproof cover solutions for their outdoor electrical outlets.
