Arlington Industries DBVR1W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I add a weatherproof in-use cover to an existing outdoor receptacle without opening the wall?
That is what the Arlington DBHR/DBVR retrofit inbox is built for. It is a low profile recessed in-box that installs over an existing exterior outlet opening, so you get an extra duty in-use enclosure without cutting new siding or replacing the box behind it. Common uses are exterior outlet weatherproofing on houses, commercial building exteriors, and multi-unit residential where the openings already exist.
2) Does the Arlington retrofit inbox meet the 2017 NEC extra duty cover rule for outdoor receptacles?
It does. The unit is stated to meet 2017 NEC Section 406.9(B) for protection of exterior outlets, and it is both UL and CSA Listed. That is the section inspectors cite on outdoor receptacles requiring an extra duty in-use cover, so it clears an exterior rough-in inspection on that point.
3) What is the difference between the DBHR1 and DBVR1 Arlington inbox?
Orientation. The DBHR1 is ordered as the vertical option and the DBVR1 as the horizontal option, so you pick the one that matches how the receptacle sits in the wall. Each is available with a clear cover (DBHR1C, DBVR1C) or a white cover (DBHR1W, DBVR1W). The box body itself is white either way.
4) How much wall space does the Arlington 1-gang low profile inbox need?
Plan on 7.186 inches by 4.934 inches of flat surface for the enclosure. It is a 1-gang trade size, so it covers a single device opening, but the flange footprint is larger than the device itself. Check clearance against window trim, corner boards, and siding transitions before you cut.
5) Will this fit a two-gang exterior outlet?
No. The Arlington retrofit inbox is a 1-gang enclosure and covers a single device only. For a two-gang exterior opening you need a 2-gang extra duty in-use cover or in-box instead; fitting a 1-gang unit over a two-gang opening leaves the second device unprotected and will not satisfy the exterior outlet protection requirement.
6) Should I choose the clear cover or the white cover on this Arlington in-use box?
Clear lets you see at a glance whether something is plugged in and whether the receptacle looks wet or damaged, which is why maintenance crews tend to spec it. White reads quieter against light siding and trim. Both are the same extra duty cover on the same white UV-rated plastic body, so it is purely an appearance and inspection-visibility call.
7) Will a plastic outdoor outlet cover hold up in full sun?
The Arlington retrofit inbox is molded from UV-rated plastic specifically so it does not chalk, yellow, or go brittle from sun exposure the way standard non-rated plastic does. That matters on south and west elevations and on rooftop or poolside receptacles where a cover lives in direct sun year round.
8) Can I paint the Arlington weatherproof outlet box to match my siding?
Yes, the white body is paintable, so you can match it to siding or trim on a facade where the hardware needs to disappear. That is a practical option for HOA-governed properties and historic-district exteriors. Paint the box, not the clear cover, if you want to keep the see-through window.
9) Is the Arlington DBHR1 sold individually or only by the box?
Both. The retrofit inbox has a single-piece unit pack and a standard carton of 4 pieces, so a contractor doing one repair takes one and a property manager standardizing exterior receptacles across a building can take full cartons. It is made in the United States.
