While-in-use weatherproof cover · 1-gang, horizontal, self-closing, 3.25 in depth (82.6 mm), white · Eaton Cooper Wiring Devices WIU-1WHX
1-gang extra-duty while-in-use weatherproof cover for horizontal device mounting in wet locations. Non-metallic polycarbonate construction with a self-closing lid and 3.25 in (82.6 mm) depth helps protect receptacles while cords remain plugged in.
What this product is for
This 1-gang while-in-use weatherproof cover is used to protect an outdoor receptacle or device in wet locations while a cord is connected. It is intended for horizontal mounting where a self-closing extra-duty cover is required.
Use for
Use for outdoor receptacles, patios, decks, service entrances, and other exposed locations where the device must remain protected during use. Suitable where a non-metallic cover with multiple device insert options is needed.
Avoid for
Avoid for indoor dry-location applications where a standard cover is sufficient, or where a vertical cover orientation is required. Do not assume device compatibility without confirming the insert and mounting orientation.
Best for
Best for electricians replacing or specifying a white extra-duty while-in-use cover for a single-gang outdoor box with horizontal layout. Useful when weather protection is needed even with a cord cap inserted.
Installed in
Typically installed on exterior walls, posts, garages, porches, and commercial outdoor service points. Commonly paired with weatherproof boxes and GFCI receptacles in wet-location branch circuits.
Why this product exists
Standard covers do not protect a receptacle while it is in use. This style provides a deeper hood and self-closing cover so connected devices remain shielded from rain and exposure during normal operation.
Compared with similar products
Compared with standard weatherproof covers, this while-in-use design provides protection with a cord connected. Compared with metal covers, the polycarbonate body helps resist corrosion in typical outdoor environments. Always confirm orientation, colour, depth, and device insert configuration before ordering.
