Bell 5173-0 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Bell 5173 blank cover seal an unused outdoor single-gang box?
That is exactly what the Bell 5173 is for. It is a blank/flat cover with no device openings, sized for 1-gang weatherproof device boxes, so it closes off a box you are not using while keeping moisture, dust, and debris out. If you need to pass a receptacle or switch through, you need a cover with the matching device opening instead, not this one.
2) Is the Bell 5173 blank cover UL Listed for wet locations?
The 5173 is UL Listed as a weatherproof cover. Inspectors on exterior residential and commercial work generally want to see that listing on any cover closing a box in a damp or wet location, and this one carries it.
3) Do I need a blank cover or an in-use cover for my outdoor box?
Depends on whether anything is in the box. The Bell 5173 is a blank/flat cover, meaning solid plate, no openings, for a 1-gang box you are decommissioning or leaving spare. If a receptacle is live in that box and something stays plugged in, you need a weatherproof in-use (bubble) cover instead. If a device is there but only used occasionally, a flip-lid receptacle cover is the middle ground. The 5173 only covers the first case.
4) Is the Bell 5173 cover metal or plastic?
Aluminum, metallic construction. That matters for two reasons on an exterior wall: it holds up to sustained outdoor exposure without going brittle the way some non-metallic covers can, and a metallic cover on a metallic box keeps the whole assembly bonded as one metal system. If your box is non-metallic PVC, a metallic cover is generally not the match you want.
5) Can the Bell 5173 be installed on a box mounted sideways?
Yes. It is a device-mount cover that works in either vertical or horizontal orientation, so a box turned on its side is fine. Device mount means it fastens to the device mounting screw holes in the box, not to a separate ring.
6) What colors does the Bell 5173 weatherproof blank cover come in, and what are the part numbers?
Two: gray as 5173-0 and white as 5173-1. Same aluminum blank cover either way, so pick the one that matches the other device covers on the building. Property managers standardizing a fleet of exterior openings usually settle on one and stay with it.
7) How far does the Bell 5173 stick out from the box?
Depth is 0.28 inch, so it sits nearly flush to the box face. Useful where a cover is going behind a downspout, under a soffit, next to a trim board, or anywhere a bulky in-use cover would foul something.
