ELECTRICAL-BOX COVERS

After a device has been installed in a box or the work is completed in a box, the box must be covered. Electrical-box covers come in different sizes, shapes, and styles (Figure 23). The type of device and the location of the box dictate what type cover to use. Standard plastic box covers are the most common for indoor use. When an electrical box is located outdoors or where it is subject to moisture, a Waterproof metal cover should be used. Blank box covers are used to cover junction boxes.
