Arlington Industries DBHS1C – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arlington DBHS1/DBVS1 low profile outlet box work on fiber cement or wood siding, or is it only for vinyl?
Siding compatibility is all types, so the box works on vinyl, fiber cement, wood and composite walls, not just vinyl. It is built for new construction, where the box goes in at rough-in before the siding is closed up around it. The body is UV-rated plastic, so it holds up on a sun-exposed elevation.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering the Arlington DBHS1 or DBVS1 siding outlet box?
Two choices decide the part number: orientation and cover color. The four combinations are DBHS1C and DBHS1W for the vertical version in clear and white, and DBVS1C and DBVS1W for the horizontal version in clear and white. The box body is white on all four. Pick orientation off your rough-in layout and cover color off whether you want the receptacle visible.
3) Does the Arlington low profile siding box satisfy the code requirement for an in-use cover on an exterior receptacle?
Yes. The box meets 2017 NEC Section 406.9(B), the exterior outlet requirement for a wet-location in-use cover, and the extra duty cover is part of the assembly rather than something you add later. It is also UL and CSA Listed. For a facility inspection that is the pairing an AHJ looks for: listed enclosure plus an extra duty in-use cover.
4) Can I use the Arlington DBVS1 box to add an outlet to a house that is already sided?
It is a new construction box. It goes in during rough-in, before or as the siding goes on, so the flange sits flat against the wall and the siding closes to it. On an existing sided wall you would be cutting the siding back to make that work. For a retrofit on finished siding, use a box built for that, not this one.
5) How many receptacles will the Arlington DBHS1 siding outlet box hold?
One. It is a 1-gang box, so it takes a single duplex or a single GFCI device. For a two-device exterior location you need a 2-gang box, not two of these side by side, unless the layout genuinely calls for two separate openings in the siding.
6) Why choose a low profile siding box instead of a standard weatherproof box with a bubble cover?
A surface-mounted weatherproof box with a bubble cover sticks out from the wall and catches weather; this one mounts flush against the siding surface so it barely protrudes and there is less exposed edge for water to work behind. The trade-off is that you have to plan it at rough-in. On a wall where appearance matters, or where a bubble cover would look wrong against clean siding, the low profile box is the one to spec.
7) Do the Arlington DBHS1 and DBVS1 boxes come as a complete kit or do I buy the cover separately?
Box and extra duty cover ship together as one assembly, so the cover color is baked into the part number rather than ordered as a separate line. You still supply the receptacle and the wiring method. Standard pack is 4 pieces, unit pack is 1.
8) Can I paint the Arlington siding outlet box to match the house color?
Yes, the box is paintable, which is how you get it to disappear into a colored siding run or match an architectural spec. The stock body is white. If you want the receptacle itself hidden, order the white cover version; the clear cover leaves the device and anything plugged in visible.
9) Is the Arlington low profile outlet box made in the USA?
Yes, Arlington Industries manufactures it in the United States. That matters on public and institutional jobs carrying domestic-sourcing language in the spec, and it is a documented attribute here rather than a marketing claim.
