While-In-Use Weatherproof Cover - 2-Gang Horizontal/Vertical 3.25 in Depth Non-Metallic White · Cooper Wiring Devices WIUX-2W

What this product is for

This 2-gang while-in-use weatherproof cover is used to protect outdoor receptacles and similar devices in wet locations while cords are connected. It is intended for surface-mounted installations where a self-closing cover and non-metallic construction are required.

Use for

Use for outdoor receptacles, patio and deck outlets, exterior wall outlets, and other wet-location device installations that need in-use protection. Suitable where horizontal or vertical mounting flexibility helps match the box and device layout.

Avoid for

Avoid for indoor dry-location box cover applications or where a standard flat wallplate is all that is required. Do not assume device compatibility beyond the listed multi-configuration insert system without confirming the exact receptacle or switch layout.

Best for

Best for electricians replacing or specifying a 2-gang outdoor in-use cover with non-metallic construction, self-closing operation, and field flexibility for common receptacle and switch combinations.

Installed in

Typically installed on exterior residential and light commercial walls, service areas, patios, decks, garages, and other outdoor locations exposed to rain or moisture. Commonly used with surface-mounted weatherproof boxes.

Why this product exists

While-in-use covers help maintain protection when a cord cap is inserted, instead of leaving the device exposed with the cover open. The approximately 3.25 in (83 mm) depth provides working space for connected cords and plugs, depending on device and cord end shape.

Typical buying guidance: deeper in-use covers are commonly chosen where transformer plugs or bulkier cord ends need more clearance. Actual fit depends on the receptacle style, plug body, and installation layout.

Compared with similar products

Compared with standard weatherproof covers, this style is intended for protection while equipment remains plugged in. Compared with metallic covers, the non-metallic polycarbonate style is commonly selected where corrosion resistance and non-conductive construction are preferred. Horizontal and vertical mounting options can also reduce stocking complexity for service vehicles.
